KUALA LUMPUR: The government has decided to tighten the standard operating procedure (SOP) that was eased during the implementation of the recovery movement control order (MCO).
Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the decision was made following concerns over the rise in Covid-19 cases in the past week.
“The technical committee will meet to work on the finer details of the SOP and table it at the ministerial meeting on Monday, ” he told a media briefing on the recovery MCO at the Putra World Trade Centre here. He said that since several new clusters involving ship crew members had been detected, the SOP with regard to this group would also be looked into.
“We are worried about infections during Raya Haji. If during Aidilfitri we had set a limit of no more than 20 guests, then for Aidiladha we will also set a limit.
