PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia can expect to move from the Covid-19 pandemic into an endemic phase by the end of October, says Khairy Jamaluddin. The Health Minister said with 80% of the population expected to be vaccinated by then, it is about time that the country learnt to "live with the virus." "We will wait for the next two months, when 80% of the population are vaccinated. "In the case of Labuan and to a lesser extent, Sarawak – they are already in an endemic phase. Khairy said being in an endemic phase would see more sectors reopened with new Covid-19 norms being practised.
