You may now go back to your hometown. Inter-state travel allowed effective Monday

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has just announced that inter-state travel will be allowed effective tomorrow, Monday 11-October.

This comes after vaccination rate of the adult population in Malaysia has hit 90 percent.

“The government has allowed Keluarga Malaysia who are fully vaccinated to cross states from tomorrow without having to apply for police permits,” he said in a press conference today.

However would-be travelers are reminded that the exception to this relaxation in travel restriction are areas under EMCO.

“The lifting of the prohibition on interstate travel does not apply for visits to localities placed under enhanced movement control order," he added.

The ban on inter-state travel was briefly lifted last year, but was reinstated in January 2021 when Covid-19 cases surged once more.
