Economic Reopening In Malaysia

On 1 May 2020, the Malaysian government announced the reopening of Malaysia’s economy starting 4 May 2020.

While there are still over 1,700 active COVID-19 cases in Malaysia, with new cases still being reported every day, the Malaysian government is gravely concerned about the high costs of shutting down the country.
