Malaysia will extend a nationwide lockdown that was originally due to end Monday as new Covid infections are still too high, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said.
The movement restrictions will now stay in place until the nation’s daily caseload falls below 4,000, the official Bernama news agency reported, citing the premier. The government will announce more comprehensive assistance programs for all groups on Monday or Tuesday, he said during a visit to a vaccination center in the state of Selangor.
