A media statement has been issued by the YAB Prime Minister regarding the economic sector facilities – media statement as follows:
On August 8, I announced social sector facilities for individuals who have received a complete vaccination. The facilities include cross-state or district for long-distance couples, long-distance children for Phase 1 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP), and cross-district, dine-in, and outdoor sports activities for states in Phase 2 of the NRP and beyond.
I also note that restaurant operators have displayed information on the number of employees who have received complete vaccinations to help customers choose the premises they want to visit. There are also premise owners who want to wait until all their employees are fully vaccinated before starting dine-in activities to create a safer premise environment.
This development is in line with my recommendation on 8 August that the people who have received a complete vaccination can make rational and prudent self-risk considerations in facing the threat of the COVID-19 virus even though the Government has allowed some form of facility.
However, I am also aware that some are disappointed because they do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the facilities announced, especially the residents in the states of Phase 1 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP). Although I understand this frustration very much, but every decision to provide these facilities must be made with caution and taking into account our country is still in a pandemic situation.
