Malasian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Sunday that state borders would be reopened after months-long closures.
It's hoped that the move will renew the country's tourism industry and give a boost to its economy. the PM said the ban will be lifted from Monday, as 90% of the nation's adults have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
He said fully vaccinated Malaysians can now travel to other states for holidays and return to their hometown. Malaysian Prime Minister says Malaysians are also now free to travel abroad without requiring approval but they still need to undergo virus tests and quarantine upon return.
During the broadcast, he also said that the government is still assessing the situation to decide whether it's safe to reopen the country's borders to foreigners
