KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the relaxations for economic sectors for fully vaccinated individuals will be announced soon.

He said these relaxations are still under discussions and are being considered at the National Security Council (MKN) Special Meeting level.

"The relaxations for economic sectors are being discussed and will be considered at the MKN Special Meeting level, and I will announce them soon," Muhyiddin said in a special announcement on the relaxations for fully vaccinated individuals which was broadcast live over local television networks today.

He said the government has agreed to give quarantine and travel relaxations for individuals who are fully vaccinated, and are applicable to all phases of the National Recovery Plan (PPN).
