As updated by Ram Anand at 2nd March, 2021 stated that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia will ease its public health restrictions and travel curbs starting Friday (March 5), a week after kick-starting its mass inoculation campaign for Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced on Tuesday (March 2) that Malaysia\u2019s economic powerhouse states of Selangor, Johor and Penang along with the Kuala Lumpur federal territory will exit the Movement Control Order (MCO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MCO was imposed on Jan 13 and extended twice as coronavirus surged, with a record daily high of 5,728 logged on Jan 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily cases have since tapered down and Malaysia\u2019s National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme started last week, with health workers, teachers, firemen and elected lawmakers queuing up daily to be inoculated. More than 32,000 have been inoculated as of Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malaysia reported 1,555 new cases on Tuesday, the lowest daily infection reported this year, with a cumulative total of 304,135.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selangor, Penang, Johor and KL will enter the mid-tier Conditional MCO (CMCO) from Friday, with travel between districts of the same state allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But travel between states will still be banned to curb the potential spread of the coronavirus, said Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri. In Sabah, which is also under CMCO, inter-district travel remains banned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Malaysia has continued to register four-digit new infections daily since the beginning of this year, recoveries have outpaced new infections in the past month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total active cases – patients being treated for Covid-19 – peaked at 52,186 on Feb 10, raising concerns among officials about the availability of beds at health facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But on Tuesday, active cases totalled 24,563 – a 52 per cent drop from the peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malaysia reintroduced the MCO – the strictest form of restrictions where only certain sectors of the economy were allowed to operate – from mid-January following a surge in coronavirus cases in December and early January. The MCO was first imposed in March last year and lasted until July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The surge was blamed on Malaysia reopening much of its economy ahead of Christmas and New Year celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
