Malaysians should be “sensible” and self-test for Covid-19 ahead of the widely anticipated lifting of a ban on interstate travel since the country is reaching 90% of fully vaccinated adults.
The country is also transitioning to “live with the virus” as it is going in an endemic phase, and authorities say they can’t have roadblocks and check every single person who leaves a state for another.
“We can’t have roadblocks and check every single person who leaves and if they are not vaccinated, make them do a self-test. I think people will become angry if there is a traffic jam,” Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin told a news conference on Thursday (Oct 7).
A total of 88.8 per cent of adults have been fully vaccinated.
