PETALING JAYA: News of another round of movement control order (MCO) has been well-received by most health experts.
An MCO is in order given that infections now are so widespread, according to Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) president Datuk Dr M. Subramaniam.
Weak compliance with standard operating procedures (SOP), he said, could easily trigger a surge in infections, especially when almost all businesses are open, inter-district travel permitted and most restrictions have been eased.
He told
theSun that employers should also be proactive and take preventive measures by allowing their employees to work from home as much as possible.
The surge in Covid-19 infections over the past few weeks has prompted the National Security Council to impose the MCO in six districts in Selangor from today until May 17. The six districts are Hulu Langat, Petaling, Gombak, Klang, Kuala Langat and Sepang.
