“The announcement will be made soon,” he said this, following Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s statement on Thursday that the Government was considering giving a certain leeway to individuals who have completed two doses of vaccine, including allowing them to dine at restaurants and to travel inter-district and interstate.
Muhyiddin said he had asked the Special Committee for Ensuring Access to Covid-19 Vaccine Supply (JKJAV) to re-evaluate the standard operating procedures (SOPs) to give flexibility to those who were fully vaccinated.

Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia will receive more than 12 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines this month, making the next three months critical and challenging for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (Pick), said Khairy Jamaluddin.
The Pick Coordinating Minister said with the arrival of such a big amount of vaccines, the capacity for administering vaccines throughout the country would be ramped up accordingly beginning this month.
“For sure (beginning) July will be a critical period for Pick,” he said in a 7.46-minute video recording Saturday on developments on the national vaccination programme, which was launched in February.
