SOP of student movement from green to red zone, red to green zone being refined

The return of students from public and private institutions of higher learning (IPT), including other categories beginning Monday night, will be done in phases, said Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

However, he said there are certain cases that need to be addressed in advance, for example, cases involving travel from the green zone to the red zone or from the red zone to the green zone.

“There are students whose university is located in the green zone but want to go back to the red zone ... for example Simpang Renggam. There is a suggestion that they be allowed to return but only to the nearest family home in the green zone first.

“There are also cases of students living in red zones such as those living in Kampung Baru, a high-risk area. How can I let them go because their village is in the green zone? ” said Ismail Sabri.

For that reason, he said, the SOP for such cases should be different from the SOP movement from the green zone to the green zone and may involve elements such as screening tests and so on.
