Malaysia’s Prime Minister has vowed that pandemic curbs will not be reversed even if there are spikes in infections.

PM Ismail Sabri Yaakob wants to “assure everyone that businesses and livelihoods will continue normally.”

“We have to train ourselves to live with COVID, because COVID may not be eliminated fully,”

Malaysians who are fully vaccinated will be allowed to travel domestically across the country as well as overseas.

The new rules take effect on Monday

But a mandatory 14-day quarantine remains in force for anyone entering Malaysia.

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.

The Southeast Asian nation has recorded 2.3 million coronavirus infections and 27,265 deaths from COVID-19.
