TAIPING: Taiping police will conduct four roadblocks to control movement as well as curb the spread of Covid, in line with the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) in the district.
Taiping District Police chief ACP Osman Mamat said the roadblocks would be set up at Jalan Kamunting, the road to Batu Kurau in Changkat Laray, Jalan Air Kuning and Jalan Simpang in front of the Hj Midin restaurant from tomorrow morning.
He said police would put up road barriers to facilitate the deployment and operation of the roadblocks, besides closing part of the routes involving Jalan Simpang Halt from the border of Kampung Dew until the junction of Jalan Air Kuning, junction to Aulong, junction to Toyo Tyres and Jalan Taman Damai.
Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the ministry welcomed the decision due to the African variant of the Covid-19 virus. This will minimise the risk of inflow of positive cases from variants of concern into the country, he said in a statement on Saturday (April 24).
Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced earlier on Saturday that those who enter Malaysia from certain countries, such as the United Kingdom, South Africa, Brazil and Japan, will need to undergo a 14-day quarantine.
The Defence Minister said the travellers also need to take a swab test from the country of origin, three days before flying here.
