PETALING JAYA: Ahead of Hari Raya Aidilfitri next month, many Malaysians are wondering whether they would be allowed to travel across state lines to celebrate the festival in their hometowns amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

On Thursday (April 15), Health Minister Datuk Dr Adham Baba said that his ministry had proposed a postponement in allowing interstate travel for Aidilfitri celebrations as the Covid-19 transmission rate is still at a worrying level.
