PETALING JAYA: Malaysians are urged to continue following Covid-19 standard operating procedures once they are allowed to travel interstate.

       “In the next couple of days, interstate travel restriction will be lifted.

       “It’s important to take all precautions like wearing a mask, washing your hands and physical distancing, even for those vaccinated,” said Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah in a tweet yesterday.

       State borders are due to reopen after 90% of the adult population has been fully vaccinated. As of Wednesday, 88.8% of the adult population have gotten their full jabs.

       Many are expecting the country to hit the threshold by this weekend.

       Dr Noor Hisham also asked Malaysians to do periodic saliva RTK-Antigen self-testing meeting their loved ones.
