KUCHING – Individuals who have completed both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine may be allowed to travel interstate or even abroad, said Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

He said a decision on the matter will be made at the National Security Council meeting, adding that the government has also started discussions and negotiations with several countries for Malaysians who have been vaccinated to travel there.

“I will bring this up in the meeting, and we will discuss the possibility of allowing those who have received both doses to travel interstate or anywhere without restrictions by the authorities.

“This is something that can encourage people (to be vaccinated). Not only for domestic travel, but we have also started discussions with several countries to allow our citizens who have completed their two doses to travel there with official certificates.”

As of yesterday, 215,395 individuals in Phase 1 of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme have completed both doses. – Bernama, April 1, 2021
