PETALING JAYA: Interstate travel is to be allowed effective June 10, says Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
The Prime Minister said people would be allowed to cross state borders, except those staying in enhanced movement control order (MCO) localities.
He announced that the recovery MCO phase would be imposed from June 10 to Aug 31.
"This is part of the exit strategy. Since the MCO and conditional MCO were imposed, we have seen a declining trend of (Covid-19) cases in Malaysia.
"The Health Ministry statistics show the rate of transmission among locals is low and under control. Most of the cases recorded recently involve imported cases and undocumented migrants at detention centres," he said.
He warned that enhanced MCO would be imposed at localities where a surge in number of Covid-19 cases are detected.
Therefore, people should strictly observe the conditions imposed by the health authorities to reduce risk of Covid-19 transmission.
These include maintaining social distance, observing hand hygiene, and wearing masks.
He reminded those planning to return to hometowns to protect the elderly, as they were in the high risk group to contract the disease.
Muhyiddin said the recovery MCO would be implemented based on seven strategies.
They comprise fortifying public healthcare, law and enforcement, strengthening border control, fully re-opening the economic sector, inculcating new normal culture, empowering community responsibility, and protecting the high-risk group.
