Interstate borders have been open for a week now - but international travel is still tightly controlled, with Malaysians able to travel overseas, but foreign tourists not allowed to enter.

*CORRECTION: As of 18 October, the quarantine period for travellers returning to Malaysia has been reduced to 7 days, and not 14 days as mentioned in the podcast. We regret this error.
