NRP SOP: No more 10km limit for Phase 1 states, max vehicle capacity allowed for fully vaccinated individuals

The National Security Council has updated its SOP for Phase 1 states under the National Recovery Plan which now allows more freedom of movement. Besides allowing dine-in, recreational activities and more business sectors, residents in Phase 1 states are no longer limited to the 10km radius limit. The updated rules were shared on the official Telegram channel and it takes into effect on 20th August 2021.

Do take note that, interdistrict and interstate travel is still not permitted except for individuals that meet certain conditions. Effective 10th August, fully vaccinated long-distance married couples and parents who want to meet up with their children (aged below 18 years old) are allowed to travel interstate or interdistrict to meet their loved ones.

Another new update is the passenger limit for vehicles. The SOP mentions that fully vaccinated individuals are allowed to carry passengers up to the permitted capacity of the vehicles. For individuals that have not completed their vaccination, the 2 passenger limit still applies. A maximum limit of 3 passengers is allowed for emergency purposes such as seeking medical treatment, taking screening tests, vaccination, or for safety and security reasons.

For taxi and eHailing services, it is mentioned that only 2 persons are allowed in the vehicle including the driver. This means only 1 passenger is allowed and they must sit at the back.

Despite the lifting of the 10km limit, residents in Phase 1 states are only allowed to move within their respective districts. The National Security Council has previously clarified that the entire Kuala Lumpur is a single district while Selangor district borders are set by the state. Above is the list of areas according to districts in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.

States and territories under Phase 1 of the NRP include Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Kedah, Melaka, Johor, Putrajaya and Negeri Sembilan.

Definition of Fully Vaccinated

To recap, a person isn’t fully vaccinated after completing their vaccination shots. Based on the JKJAV’s guidelines, if a person receives a two-dose vaccine such as Pfizer, AstraZeneca or Sinovac, a person is considered fully vaccinated 14 days after getting the second shot. For individuals that got a single-shot vaccine such as CanSino or Johnson & Johnson, they are counted as fully vaccinated 28 days after receiving the injection.
