Yesterday, public transport operator RapidKL also announced that commuters will be required to keep their distance from each other, with waiting and travel time expected to be slightly longer than usual.
Last week on April 28, Malaysia hit its record of lowest new Covid-19 cases at 31; the lowest since the MCO was implemented on May 18. Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah said Putrajaya’s decision does not mean that all businesses must re-start today, but that the announcement was meant to allow traders to prepare for the scheduled end of the MCO next week.
“Let us help each other to make sure our loved ones especially those who are vulnerable are safe. Let us keep Malaysia safe. Selangor, the state with the most number of reported Covid-19 cases in the country, said that no restaurant or eatery there will be allowed to conduct dine-in services and exercise will only be allowed in community parks, despite Putrajaya’s decision otherwise.
In response, Ismail said respective states will not be forced to adopt the CMCO in its entirety, and are allowed to make adjustments according to their needs.
