PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s borders are set to fully reopen on March 1, says National Recovery Council (NRC) chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. “It was recommended by the NRC that the country's borders be fully opened in due time to support the nation's recovery. "The opening of the nation's borders needs to be done accordingly and based on current risk assessment," he added. The borders had been partially closed since early 2020 following the Covid-19 outbreak to check the spread of the virus. Muhyiddin also said Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin had briefed NRC on the current pandemic situation, particularly the spread of the Omicron variant.
