GEORGE TOWN: Individuals who have completed both doses of their Covid-19 vaccination and who will be able to enjoy certain privileges beginning tomorrow, have been told to be ready to produce the screen shot of their digital certificate issued via the MySejahtera app at police road blocks.
This, deputy state police chief Datuk Fisol Salleh said, was to facilitate smoother checks at police road blocks during interdistrict travel.
"For those who get to enjoy these privileges and relaxations, we advise them to have a screen shot of their digital certificate ready to be shown to frontliners at police road blocks.
"This is to ensure a smoother journey for them and during the checks at the road blocks," he said today.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced privileges or relaxations for individuals who had completed both doses of their Covid-19 vaccination.
Besides dine-in, Muhyiddin said among other privileges for fully vaccinated individuals were same state holidays, inter-district travel and certain sports activities, applicable to those in states that were in Phase Two and above of the National Recovery Plan (NRP).
Penang is currently in Phase Two of the NRP.
Fisol said for eateries offering dine-ins to those who have been fully vaccinated, they have to ensure their workers are fully vaccinated, ensure only 50 per cent capacity in their premises, proper physical distancing and proper ventilation.
"They need to ensure that only customers who are fully vaccinated are allowed into their premises to dine-in. For this, customers will have to show their digital certificate.
"Penang police will conduct monitoring on all premises to ensure everyone adhere to the standard operating procedures (SOP) put in place," he added.
Fisol urged the people of Penang to fully comply with all the directives and SOPs to ensure the objective of the NRP is achieved.
He added that cooperation from society was important to break the chain of Covid-19 infection in the state.
