Following Malaysia's transition into the endemic phase which began on Friday (1 April 2022), companies in manufacturing and its related services sector will now be subject to the prevailing endemic standard operating procedures (SOPs).  

This was announced by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry on Saturday (2 April). In line with the transition, the ministry said companies in these sectors will no longer be required to update the weekly report on compliance with SOPs, as well as employee vaccination rates, in the COVID-19 Intelligent Management System (CIMS 3.0).
