GEORGE TOWN: While the fully vaccinated may rejoice at the thought of dining in with the King of Fruits, durian sellers here are sticking to providing takeaways with the season nearing its end.

In Medan Mahsuri, a durian seller and supplier who wanted to be known only as Ah Heng, 30, said she was not keen on allowing dine-ins as her workers had only received their first vaccine jabs.
