KL, Putrajaya and Selangor Move into NRP's Phase Four

In case you're wondering, Malaysia's Covid caseload is still high. Four digits.

Nonetheless, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Selangor will join Melaka to move from Phase Three to Four of the NRP from tomorrow. 

And Kedah, Kelantan, Penang, Perak, and Sabah and Kedah will move from Phase Two to Three on the same day as well. 

More easing of restrictions, e.g. Highway rest stops can operate 24 hours a day; e-hailing vehicles can resume carrying passengers without restrictions. 

And the quarantine period for fully vaccinated travellers from abroad is reduced to seven days, and for partially or non-vaccinated travellers, to 10 days. 

Since October 11, crossing state borders is already allowed. 

It is now believed that we will continue to experience outbreaks of Covid-19 here and there – but not on the same calamitous nationwide scale as the one we just experienced the past six months. 



As we transition to an endemic Covid-19 situation, health authorities seem convinced that the worst is behind us.

We will know soon enough.
