PUTRAJAYA, May 2 — Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has cautioned the public to remember that the movement control order is still in force, despite some easing which will come into effect on Monday . He said the loosening of restrictions under the MCO does not mean it is no longer bound to the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988.
“Action can still be taken against those who violate the Act’s requirements. However, when we look at it, the loosening of restrictions is still in line with the earlier announcement by the prime minister,” Ismail Sabri said during his daily press conference today.“Although several premises such as those serving food and drink are now allowed to open, they are still required to wrap up by 8pm.
“At a later stage, this will be extended to 10pm. For now, factories allowed to operate involve essential goods such as food and medication, where 50 per cent of the existing staff are allowed to work,” Ismail Sabri said, adding that eventually 100 per cent of a business’ workforce will be permitted to return and subsectors re-opened.
