SEREMBAN: The decision to allow interstate travel once 90% of the adult population is vaccinated against Covid-19 is the right one, as any further delay could lead to other problems, says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.

He said the authorities could not afford to wait until 90% of the total population is inoculated before allowing interstate travel, as suggested by some medical experts, because this could cause some Malaysians who have not met their loved ones for some time now to suffer mental and emotional stress.
