Inter-district, interstate travel ban likely to continue until at least 70% of population vaccinated, says Health DG


PUTRAJAYA: The travel ban between states and districts may go on until at least 70% of the population have been vaccinated for Covid-19, says Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

He said a lesson could be learnt from the decision to re-allow interstate travel on Dec 7, which resulted in outbreaks in “green states”.
