It feels like an announcement that will never come.

But don't worry, it is coming sooner rather than later.

Wait for the announcement

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said on Thursday (5 August) that he will be announcing the relaxation on COVID-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) for fully vaccinated Malaysians soon, Bernama reported.

How soon? Well, Muhyiddin said the announcement could come in a day or two.

He told reporters that the National Security Council (MKN) had done their research and gave their fair consideration to the proposed relaxation of the SOPs.

"Maybe tomorrow or the day after, I will make the long-awaited announcement for those who have received two doses of COVID-19 vaccine," he was quoted as saying.

Soon, we can travel interstate.
When asked what leeway Malaysians can expect from the announcement, Muhyiddin said the government will consider allowing interdistrict and interstate travels, as well as permission to visit parents or spouses in long distance relationships, among others.

On top of that, it could also include social and recreational activities such as sports and dine-ins at restaurants.

Well, we guess we'll just have to wait a day or two for the announcement then.
