KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 -- The interstate travel ban is set to be lifted soon as the nation’s vaccination rate against COVID-19 is fast approaching the 90 per cent milestone for the adult population.
In a posting on his official Twitter account today, Khairy said 86 per cent of adults have been fully vaccinated as of yesterday.
“With greater mobility, there will be more gatherings. We need to take responsibility for our actions. If you develop symptoms get a test kit and test. If positive, isolate quickly,” he said.
