Malaysia will reopen its borders to all travelers on April 1 as the country transitions to the endemic phase of COVID-19, in what Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob called an “exit strategy” for Malaysians to return to normal life.
Ismail said on March 8 that the decision was made after conducting a risk assessment and consulting with the Health Ministry. The move aims to revive Malaysia’s tourism industry, which has been severely affected since the government closed its borders in March 2020.
