Going overseas for a trip as of now might be impossible for a lot of us, however, you can cross the South China Sea to Sabah starting 1 November!
In a press release by the Sabah Chief Minister that was sent through the National Security Council’s Telegram channel, it is said that Sabah’s vaccination rate has surpassed the 70% mark.
Hence, the government is giving freedom to Sabahans to finally cross districts starting from 14 October. These are the people who are eligible to do so: fully vaccinated individuals, teens (12-17) who have received at least one dose of vaccine and children (below 12) accompanied by fully vaccinated parents.
Other than that, the state government has also said that starting 1 November, West Malaysians can travel to Sabah for tourism and social activities! However, there are a few prerequisites for that.
- Adults must be fully vaccinated, teens (12-17) must have had at least one dose of the vaccine and children (below 12) must be accompanied by fully vaccinated parents, &
- Must have had done a COVID-19 RT-PCR or RTK-Ag (Swab/Saliva) test three days prior to the journey.
This is certainly good news! Now that we are free to travel please make sure that you are doing so in a responsible manner where you abide by all the SOPs in order to protect yourself and the people around you!
