POS Malaysia is suspending all its international deliveries, except to Singapore, indefinitely starting from Monday.

The national postal and courier company said the move is because of interruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Its services to Singapore will continue as the government has agreed to resume partial cross-border travel.

“The temporary service suspension is due to service impact related to Covid-19, which include varying levels of restrictions across destination countries on flights, airport closures and cross-border services,” Pos Malaysia said in a statement posted on Twitter.

Malaysia is currently in the recovery movement-control order phase but has seen a spike in positive cases.

This has led Putrajaya to issue a warning to the public that it might reimpose the MCO.

Yesterday, the country continued to record more Covid-19 cases than recoveries with eight new cases compared with five sent home from hospital.

Director-general of health Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the additional cases brought the number of active cases to 223, adding the national cumulative total was 8,964.

He said 8,617 people had recovered from Covid-19, including five discharges on Thursday.

Malaysia has now gone 14 consecutive days with more new cases than recoveries. – July 31, 2020.
