As we were leaving, the restrictions were almost negligible and the Covid-19 was almost eradicated from the country.
Almost all the economic pain is gone and life had almost returned to normal.

There are 11 people being treated in the ICU and 7 on ventilators in the whole country of 33 million people.
Malaysia is so far ahead in testing and tracing that they have a chart similar to a family tree for every infection. They can trace every case back to an index exposure or cluster.
Our state, Perak, had no cases for almost 2 weeks and it wasn't until inter-state travel was allowed that 2 new cases appeared from 2 siblings who came from the south.
That moved us from being a green zone to now being a yellow zone until the siblings recover. Different color zones have different restrictions.
We have been so fortunate to be there during these times to see how a prepared country operates in a pandemic.
Here is a really good short video showing Malaysia's recovery.
