KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians are hoping that they can get back to normal life after the movement control order (MCO) is lifted, but activities cannot return to normal just yet, says a former Health director-general.
Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican said that everyone must still practise social distancing and avoid crowds such as the annual Ramadan food bazaars, mass gatherings and weddings for at least six months after the MCO period.
"Know that life cannot be the same for that period of time until and unless we have all the information we need of an evolving new pandemic. On Tuesday , Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa said his ministry and the Kuala Lumpur City Hall were contemplating whether to approve any large-scale Ramadan bazaars after the MCO ends on April 14.
Dr Ismail said the Health Ministry must call all stakeholders to inform them of what they should and should not do even after MCO has been lifted. On the same day, Health director-general Datuk Seri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said that proper crowd control measures were needed if Ramadan bazaars are to be implemented.
