Malaysia will reopen its borders to international travelers on April 1 after more than two years.

Visitors who have been vaccinated twice against the corona virus should therefore be able to enter the Southeast Asian country without quarantine from this point in time, according to the ORF. The prerequisites are a negative PCR test before departure and a negative antigen test after arrival. From April, almost all CoV restrictions that are still in force in Malaysia are to be lifted. Only the mask requirement is not yet lifted, said the head of government. Although almost 30.000 new infections are currently being recorded every day because of the contagious omicron variant, 99 percent of the cases have been mild or asymptomatic, the Malaysian newspaper The Star reported. Almost 98 percent of the population have now been vaccinated twice.
