PUTRAJAYA, June 7 – Interstate travel\u00a0will be allowed beginning this Wednesday, with the exception of areas declared under enhanced movement control order (EMCO),\u00a0Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said.<\/p>\n

In announcing the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO)\u00a0to replace the Conditional MCO, which will end on Tuesday, Muhyiddin said this will be among the restrictions to be lifted while the country goes through\u00a0the COVID-19 recovery phase.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs such, those who wish to visit their parents who are in other states, may soon do so. But please be advised to observe good personal hygiene, wear face masks at all times when in public places and stay away\u00a0 from crowded places when you are back in your hometowns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cRemember, if your parents are senior citizens, they are the most vulnerable to infection. Though it is good to be able to visit them, it is our responsibility to protect them from infection,\u201d he said in a special televised broadcast today.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister added that among activities allowed under\u00a0the RMCO are sales and promotional\u00a0activities\u00a0outside\u00a0business premises,\u00a0<\/em>museum visits, indoor busking, recreational fishing activities including those conducted at commercial fishing ponds.<\/p>\n

He said once the RMCO is enforced, self-service laundromat,\u00a0filming activities, meetings and workshops would be allowed to resume, on condition the protocols on health and distancing guidelines are adhered to strictly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As\u00a0for sports and recreational activities, Muhyiddin said these would be allowed as long as there are\u00a0no physical\u00a0contacts, as in\u00a0bowling, badminton, archery,\u00a0shooting, as well as outdoor group activities such as cycling and motorcycle convoys.<\/p>\n

“However sports tournaments and games where supporters and spectators will be gathered at the stadium and swimming pools, as well as contact sports such as rugby, wrestling, boxing, football, basketball and hockey are still prohibited,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said though interstate travel restrictions\u00a0have been\u00a0lifted\u00a0to allow domestic tourism activities to resume, those wishing to travel abroad will still have to wait a little longer, as the country’s borders are still\u00a0closed for the time being.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAs for parents who have been wondering when schools will reopen, I wish to inform that\u00a0 schools\u00a0will\u00a0reopen in stages during the RMCO,\u00a0after obtaining the necessary recommendations from the Health Ministry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Education Ministry will make an announcement giving a detailed account on the reopening soon,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
