The government has announced a National Recovery Plan, which will allow the country to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic in stages.

PM Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin says the recovery plan has four phases, with the first phase already enforced with the current nationwide lockdown.

He says the country will only enter Phase 2 once average daily COVID-19 cases drop to below 4,000 infections.

Meanwhile, he expects Malaysia to enter the final phase of the recovery plan from November with fewer than 500 daily cases on average.
