Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob urged the public to insist their hairdressers produce a letter confirming they are negative for Covid-19 if the hairdresser is a foreigner.

"Those who are getting a haircut and find that their hairdresser is a foreigner, I ask that they insist on a letter of proof from the hairdresser," he said, adding that the letter should show the hairdresser has undergone a swab test and is confirmed to be negative for Covid-19.
