PETALING JAYA: Fearing another wave of Covid-19 infections, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin urges all Malaysians to be responsible and strictly practise Covid-19 public health measures when interstate travel curbs are lifted effective Monday (Oct 11).

Khairy said there have been Covid-19 surges in other highly-vaccinated countries which have inoculated over 80% of their populations against the virus although more than 90% of the cases are either mild or asymptomatic.

“We can't afford that anymore. With the Health Ministry, I have made early preparations to ensure we can deal with the surge if it happens, but we don't want to deal with a surge. He said lifting the interstate travel ban after 90% of the adult population had been immunised against Covid-19 was not a scientific threshold, but this was done as the government felt there was wide enough coverage of vaccination.

Khairy said the government also decided to go one step further by allowing fully-vaccinated Malaysians to travel overseas without having to apply for the MyTravelPass permit from the Immigration Department. To ensure that a surge does not happen following interstate movements, Khairy added that apart from following standard operating procedures such as wearing masks and avoiding crowds, Malaysians must also “test, report, isolate and seek”.
