YAB Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has announced the Facilities for Individuals Who Have Received Complete Vaccination during his special announcement today – special announcement speech as follows:

On 15 June 2021, I announced the National Recovery Plan (NRP) which is a phased exit strategy in an orderly and systematic manner, from the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. This plan is a carefully designed guide based on data and science to allow us all to return to normal daily life or back to normalcy.

Alhamdulillah in just two months, the Federal Territory (FT) of Labuan along with eight other states have successfully moved out of Phase 1 of NRP. Starting August 4, 2021, Perlis, Sarawak and WP Labuan have moved to Phase 3 of NRP while six other states are already in Phase 2. This shows that the recovery efforts are progressing as planned.

A media statement has been issued by the Minister of Finance regarding NRP: New Hospital Admission Symptomatic Cases As New Indicators For States In Phase 1 That Have Achieved Vaccination Rate Of At Least 50% Of The Adult Population – media statement as follows:

The NSC Special Session and National Recovery Council (NRC) chaired by YAB Prime Minister, YAB Tan Sri Dato' Haji Muhyiddin Yassin this week has considered and decided to use a new indicator viz ‘Number of new hospital admission symptomatic cases’ as one of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) phase transition indicators. This decision was made on the advice of health experts, as well as international and domestic experience, with the observation that the risk of COVID-19 transmission decreased in line with increasing vaccination rates of the adult population.

The NRC also decided that the indicator would only replace existing indicators (i.e. the number of new daily COVID-19 cases) when the vaccination of a state in Phase 1 has reached a rate of at least 50% of the adult population. A benchmark for symptomatic cases used is based on daily hospital admissions for the number of patient cases in Categories 3, 4, and 5.
