Singaporeans who are planning to travel to Malaysia will be glad to know that the country has lifted a number of Covid restrictions.
Masking up outdoors still encouraged
Members of the public no longer have to wear their masks outdoors, Malay Mail reported.
However, masks are still required for those who are indoors and on public transport.
Nevertheless, Malaysia's health ministry still encourages the wearing of masks outdoors as it helps stall the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
Mask-wearing is still mandatory indoors from 1 May 2022. However, it is optional outdoors. It is still encouraged when in crowded places and for high-risk individuals. 😷 pic.twitter.com/5QaO18Vsn3

In a press conference, Malaysia's Healthy Minister Khairy Jalamuddin also advised those who are unwell to mask up regardless if they are indoors or outdoors.
In addition, Khairy said the country will be doing away with mandatory Covid tests on all incoming vaccinated travellers starting from May 1, Bloomberg reported.
Previously, this was only applicable to travellers from Singapore.
Furthermore, the MySejahtera app is longer needed for the public to enter premises.
Other restrictions that will be lifted include the removal of mandatory Covid-19 insurance as a requirement to enter Malaysia.
