Johor, Pahang to enter next phase of NRP on Friday

Johor and Pahang will each transition to the next phase of the National Recovery Plan on Friday.

This means Johor will transition from Phase 2 of the NRP to Phase 3, while Pahang will transition from Phase 3 to the final phase of the plan.

Senior Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said the matter was decided by the Covid-19 Pandemic Management Special Committee today.

In addition, the committee has decided to loosen the Covid-19 standard operating procedures further beginning on Saturday.

Among others, the operating hours of wholesale markets in Phase 2 and Phase 3 states are extended to whatever is permitted by the local government. This is on condition the workers have been fully vaccinated.

These markets are currently restricted to operating from 12.01am to 6am and 11am to 4pm, subject to licensing and permit conditions imposed by local governments.
