Kuala Lumpur: With more than 50 per cent of the country's adult population fully vaccinated as of Wednesday, more restrictions in the social and economic sectors in Phase One states and onwards under the National Recovery Plan (PPN) have been eased from today (Friday), including dine-in activity for fully vaccinated individuals.Caretaker Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (pic) said the matter was decided at the Special National Security Council (MKN) meeting which he chaired Thursday to consider proposals by the MKN Special Technical Committee to ease more restrictions, especially for Phase One states. Besides this, he said non-contact outdoor sports, recreational and leisure activities will now also be allowed but confined to only within the same district.

“It is must be clarified that individuals will only be recognised as fully vaccinated after they have met the following criteria, namely for vaccines that require two doses (for example, Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Sinovac), the individual must have passed 14 days from their second dose vaccination date. “As for vaccines that only require a single dose (for example Johnson & Johnson and CanSino), the individuals must have passed the 28th day from their vaccination date,” he said in a posting on his Facebook account, Thursday.
