Malaysia lifts travel curbs for fully vaccinated people

Posted on

THE DAILY STAR. 11TH OCTOBER: Malaysia yesterday lifted interstate and international travel restrictions for residents fully vaccinated against Covid-19, as the country achieved its target of inoculating 90 percent of its adult population. Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the government has agreed to allow fully vaccinated Malaysians to travel overseas without applying for permission. The new rules take effect from today. The government is preparing to shift into an endemic Covid-19 phase where it will not impose wide lockdowns again if cases rise, Ismail Sabri told a news conference. “We have to train ourselves to live with Covid, because Covid may not be eliminated fully,” he said.
