In today’s live press conference by Defence Minister, Ismail Sabri, the issue of interstate travel was addressed again following the lifting of the CMCO in particular states.
Ismail Sabri said that certain SOPs for travelling under the green travel bubble would be amended to help local tourism industries that have been suffering throughout the CMCO.
The minister then said that interstate travel would be allowed in the following situations:
- Those staying in green zone states can travel within their state without restrictions.
- Those staying in green zone states can travel to and fro from other green zone states freely without asking for permission from the police as long as the journey only involves passing through green zones.
- Those staying in green zone states who want to go to other green zone states but are passing red zone states can travel but will need permission from the police or a “travel pass” issued so authorities can verify their whereabouts.
- Those who are staying in an area/district that is declared a green zone and wants to travel to another green zone area/district that is located in a red zone state can travel but will need approval from the police.
Stay tuned for more updates!
