Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah says the country must maintain tight control over its borders.
This, he said, means that travel for social or educational reasons must wait.
"For easing restrictions, we are looking at whether some of the economic sectors can take off first.
"Meaning the social and education sectors will have to wait a bit longer," he said at a press conference in Putrajaya today.
He said easing border restrictions must be done slowly. This is especially as more cases are being identified in other countries.
He added that tight border control is part of the reason that the movement control order (MCO) has been successful.
