The Health Ministry will update its travel ban list involving countries considered at high risk of spreading the new Covid-19 variant Omicron on a daily basis.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said on top of the eight countries already on the ban list, Malaysia is also reviewing whether to impose similar travel restrictions on five others.

The five are the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Australia. These countries have detected the variant before it was reported by South African scientists.

"Once we have more information on the status of the cases in the countries mentioned, after having done the risk assessment, we will decide if they will be included in the list," he told a virtual press conference this afternoon.

The eight countries already on the ban list are South Africa, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Malawi.
