As infection rates level off and the country adjusts to living with Covid, Malaysia is loosening viral regulations such as airport testing and mask mandates.

From May 1, the country will no longer require mandatory testing of incoming vaccinated travellers and youngsters under the age of 12.
Masks will no longer be required to be worn outside, and social barriers will be removed.
Unvaccinated travellers will continue to face some entrance restrictions.

 

Malaysia Airlines, the country's main carrier, is pleased with the news.
Until June 29, the airline is flying its MH1 and MH3 routes 11 times weekly from London Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (LHR-KUL), before returning to its full double daily service on June 30.

 

"I am glad to see that the Malaysian government is abolishing all pre-entry and arrival testing requirements for fully vaccinated visitors," said Daniel Bainbridge, Regional Director UK & Europe.

Since the border formally opened on April 1, Malaysia Airlines is the sole airline offering direct flights from the United Kingdom to Malaysia, and international visitors have surged considerably.

This additional relaxation of entry criteria demonstrates that Malaysia is totally open to the rest of the globe, and Malaysia Airlines looks forward to welcoming even more passengers aboard with our warm Malaysian hospitality."
