The chief minister explains why he is not opening all business sectors at once. FMTNews Sabah CMCO Covid19
Sabah Chief Minister Shafie Apdal says the state government is better aware of problems on the ground than Putrajaya when it comes to reopening more economic sectors under CMCO.
Shafie said there were many areas that needed to be looked into such as the capacity, readiness, health protocols and procedures which the state government had complete knowledge of but which Putrajaya did not. “This is why we will continue to observe Phase 4 of the MCO and announce which sectors can be open first on May 12,” said Shafie as he continued to defend his stand not to reopen all businesses now.He noted there was no point in opening all sectors in haste when many service industries, such as the air transport industry, remained restricted.
This, he said, was the reason the state resolved to have the students quarantined at home and not inside quarantine centres.
