NRP Phase 1 rules relaxed for fully vaccinated, barbershops and hair salons to open

Eleven types of business activities in areas under Phase 1 of the National Recovery Plan will be allowed to resume operations on Aug 16 with two key conditions.

To qualify, the state or territory must have half its adult population fully vaccinated and the relaxed rules only apply to customers who are fully vaccinated.

This was announced by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin today.

He said that in the case of the Klang Valley, the rate of full vaccination is at 64.7 percent and therefore qualifies for the relaxed rules.

The 11 types of businesses are:

1. Electrical and electronic shops
2. Household and kitchen supplies shops
3. Furniture shops
4. Sports shops
5. Car wash outlets
6. Car accessory shops
7. Car showrooms
8. Morning and farmers' markets
9. Clothing shops
10. Jewellery shops
11. Hair salons and barbershops
