Health D-G: Avoid Rush to Restart Work on Monday, Take Necessary Precautions
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the move to let most businesses reopen on 4 May did not mean that it was necessary for all to do so at once.
He again stressed the importance for the public to obey existing standard operating procedures (SOP) as it could affect the outcome of the ongoing movement control order (MCO) – now in its fourth phase.
He said this is especially the case since the MCO will be slightly loosened by this coming Monday, in which certain industrial and economic sectors deemed vital or providing essential services will be allowed to operate at a limited capacity.

“It is not necessary to actually start one’s business on Monday itself. While it was mentioned earlier that the economic sector will be permitted to operate, the social and education sectors will still be delayed,” Dr Noor Hisham said during his daily press conference.
To this, he discouraged the public from rushing to their offices or going out onto the streets on Monday unless absolutely necessary, as failure to obey the SOPs could undo the MCO’s efforts.
The director-general also announced that new SOPs will soon be issued for restaurants, eateries and public transportation as soon as possible.
