GEORGE TOWN: Penangites must remain vigilant now that the state has been listed under Phase Two of the National Recovery Plan (NRP), says Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow (pic).
The pandemic, he said, was not over and the next objective was to reach herd immunity and a full recovery of the economy as soon as possible.
“We will see more business activities allowed during Phase Two, which will definitely have a positive effect on our economy, retailers and small businesses.
“However, there are many sectors that are not allowed to reopen yet and our next challenge is to see Penang achieve the threshold criteria for Phase Three and Phase Four for full reopening.
