A move to allow vaccinated Malaysian workers to return from Singapore, especially to celebrate Hari Raya is being studied.

Johor officials say the relaxation included providing green lane passes to those involved.

The Health Ministry is facing difficulties identifying and isolating over 100 people who tested positive for Covid-19 in the last two weeks in Bintulu, Sarawak due to false contact information.

Individuals involved will have 24 hours to seek treatment at the Bintulu Hospital or risk arrest.

Malaysia recorded 2,690 Covid-19 infections yesterday, bringing the country's total cases close to 400,000.

This is the 11 th consecutive day daily cases remain above the 2,000 mark.

Selangor registered the highest number of infections, with more than 700 cases, followed by Sarawak and Kelantan.

3 out of the 8 new Covid-19 clusters detected in the country were education clusters.

Two originated from schools in Selangor, which is Shah Alam and Gombak and the other from Kota Baru, Kelantan.
