Malaysia's borders to reopen on April 1; no quarantine for fully vaccinated travellers

Kuala Lumpur

MALAYSIA will reopen its international borders on April 1, including the land routes between Singapore and Johor, as the country transits to a Covid-19 endemic stage, said Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob on Tuesday (Mar 8).

There will be no quarantine for travellers who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19. They will, however, need to take a Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction test 2 days before departure and a professional Rapid Test Kit-Antigen test within 24 hours after arriving in Malaysia.
