KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today said long-distance married couples who have been fully vaccinated can cross district or state lines to meet each other.

This privilege is also accorded to parents who have been fully vaccinated to visit their children who are below 18 years old.

This is applicable nationwide, regardless of each state's current phase under the National Recovery Plan (NRP).

A person is considered fully vaccinated after fulfilling certain criterias. For those who received vaccines that require two doses, they are considered to be fully vaccinated after the 14th day of receiving their second dose. For single dose vaccines, an individual is considered fully vaccinated after the 28th day of receiving their jab. 

He said this in a special announcement aired live today.

Meanwhile, there will also be a relaxation in terms of mandatory quarantine for Malaysians and non-Malaysians who have a residence here (including PR holders and those under the Malaysia My Second Home programme).

These individuals, if they have been fully vaccinated and fulfill the criteria, are allowed to quarantine at home upon arrival from abroad and they will be issued a digital Home Surveillance Order (HSO).
