While the U.S. is lifting pandemic restrictions, some other countries are tightening them.

Malaysia is largely going back into lockdown on June 1 as it confronts a COVID surge.

The country's prime minister made the call after it set new records for daily infections.

According to multiple trackers, just a small fraction of the population is fully vaccinated.
