KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama):The interstate travel ban is set to be lifted soon as the nation’s vaccination rate against Covid-19 is fast approaching the 90% milestone for the nation's adult population.

       In a post on his official Twitter account on Saturday (Oct 2), Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said that 86% of adults have been fully vaccinated as of Friday (Oct 1).
