Brunei to end early endemic phase, update COVID-19 guidelines

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, May 24 (Xinhua) -- The Brunei government on Tuesday said its Early Endemic Phase will end on May 31, and the guidelines for COVID-19 control measures will be updated beginning in June.

As part of Brunei's National COVID-19 Recovery Framework, the country moved to the Early Endemic Phase in December last year, when local infections gradually dropped after the country imposed the strictest social distancing measures, including work from home and a curfew.
