After Putrajaya announces fifth MCO phase, MOH says focus now on public compliance
Monday, 04 May 2020 07:26 PM MYTHealth director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the CMCO was to allow the economic sector to be re-opened, but maintained that it was imperative that the people comply with the standard operating procedures and practice social discipline, or there would be consequences. — Picture by Choo Choy May
Asked what he thought of the Phase Five announced today a week early, Dr Noor Hisham said the CMCO was to allow the economic sector to be re-opened, but maintained that it was imperative that the people comply with the standard operating procedures and practice social discipline, or there would be consequences.
“This is important. It’s easy to judge, but look at other countries like Taiwan and Korea where there isn’t an MCO, but they have the social discipline to comply. If they can comply — wear masks, wash their hands, maintain distance — rest assured we can break the chain of infection. If not, it will increase,” he said.
