The Malaysia National Security Council has decided to allow nationwide travel at vehicle capacity from 7 December 2020 onwards!
Find out what this means, and what is the SOP we need to comply with when we travel!
Nationwide Travel Allowed At Vehicle Capacity From 7 December 2020
Malaysia continues to record an average of about a thousand new COVID-19 cases every day, with over 74,000 COVID-19 cases so far.
However, even the lenient CMCO / PKPB lockdown is taking a toll on the economy, with an expected GDP loss of RM 300 million a day.
So, the Malaysia National Security Council decided to lift travel restrictions, and vehicle passenger limits.
- Interstate and inter-district travel are now allowed (except in EMCO areas).
- The existing roadblocks at state borders will be removed.
- There is no longer the need to obtain police permission to travel.
- Travel into and out from CMCO / PKPB areas are allowed.
- There is no limit on the number of passengers in a vehicle, subject to its maximum capacity.
In the newly released 7 December 2020 SOP, they also lifted the prior limitation that only 3 persons per household can leave the house.
Nationwide Travel At Vehicle Capacity : Please Follow SOP!
While nationwide travel is now allowed at full vehicle capacity, the government is reminding everyone to comply with the SOP.
The police will be focusing on enforcing the SOP, instead of controlling interstate or inter-district travel.
So what are the key SOPs that we must comply with?
- Wear a face mask in public places at all times.
- Wear a face mask in public vehicles (not necessary in private vehicles)
- Practice social distancing in public places – at least 1 metre apart.
- Maintain good hand hygiene with soap and water, or a hand sanitiser.
- Always log your public movements with MySejahtera or a manual logbook.
You should also do your best to avoid crowded places, especially public events.
Please remember that many of those who are infected and contagious are not symptomatic.
