PETALING JAYA: Members of the public will now play the most important role in combating the Covid-19 pandemic, says the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA).
Its president Dr N. Ganabaskaran said with the announcement of the conditional movement control order by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, the public must remain vigilant as the health crisis continues.
“The general public must now take on the role as frontliners, in battling the pandemic in public places by being disciplined in observing social distancing, personal hygiene and comply with the standard operating procedures at all times or we can easily slip back into the ‘old norm’. Dr Ganabaskaran also urged business owners strictly adhere to the SOPs as set by the government to prevent a resurgence in Covid-19 cases.
Earlier, Muhyiddin announced that almost all economic sectors and business activities would be allowed to resume operations, subject to certain conditions and standard operating procedures.
