PUTRAJAYA: The public is reminded to continue exercising self-discipline in carrying out preventive measures against Covid-19 as the country enters the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) tomorrow.
Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said business operators and customers need to maintain social distancing and good personal hygiene.
He said the police, as well as the task force teams in districts, would focus on standard operating procedure compliance at business premises and public places.
"The focus would be on business premises like shopping complexes and night markets that we have approved (to resume operations) and implementing stringent SOPs," he told a Press conference today.
Under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342) MCO violators could face a maximum fine of RM1,000 and six months' jail.
