Malaysia has said it will reopen nearly all economic activity and allow interstate travel starting June 10, lifting coronavirus restrictions imposed nearly three months ago as it moves to revive an economy battered by the pandemic.

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announced in a televised address that the novel coranvirus outbreak was “successfully” under control and Malaysia would begin a new recovery phase until Aug 31.

“I am aware the government cannot control your lives forever to control the virus,” Yassin said.

According to Reuters, the government will ease restrictions on social, education and religious activities in phases with health guidelines in place, and businesses will be allowed to return to normal operating hours.
