Malaysia’s Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob will announce the easing of more virus curbs in the economic and social sectors soon amid concern over the lockdowns’ effect on mental health.
The committee managing the pandemic has agreed to provide several “low-risk” concessions for the population, said Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein in a press conference Tuesday. It is also looking into allowing more tourist activity, adding more destinations in its travel bubble initiative, and reopening gyms, he said.
