Individuals, who were issued with the RM10,000 compound for violating the Covid-19 SOPs can appeal to the district health office, PKD to reduce the amount.

Putrajaya says PKD Officers will then use their discretion to determine the amount that needs to be paid by the offenders.

The IGP had previously said that maximum compound was aimed at repeat offenders and extreme violators of the SOPs.

Meanwhile, 330 individuals have been issued compound notices of RM10,000 each for flouting MCO rules nationwide.

Those caught littering face masks in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan can be fined RM250 as it is considered an offence in the city.

Uncontrolled dumping of face masks could threaten the environment, especially the marine life, besides clogging the waterways.

Malaysia reported 1,575 new Covid-19 cases along with three deaths yesterday.

Selangor topped the list once more with the highest number of cases with 751, followed by Sarawak and Johor.

This marked the 7th consecutive day the nation's new infections have been under 2,000 cases.
