KUALA LUMPUR – The interstate travel ban is set to be lifted soon as the nation’s vaccination rate against Covid-19 is fast approaching the 90% milestone for the adult population.

In a post on his official Twitter account today, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said 86% of adults have been fully vaccinated as of yesterday.

“With greater mobility, there will be more gatherings. We need to take responsibility for our actions. If you develop symptoms, get a test kit and test yourself. If positive, isolate quickly,” he said.

Recently, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said interstate travel will be allowed when 90% of the country’s adult population is fully vaccinated, based on the Health Ministry’s (MoH) data and analysis.

According to MoH’s CovidNow portal, 20,317,843 individuals or 86.8% of adults have completed their jabs as of yesterday. – Bernama, October 2, 2021
