It is wrong for us to assume that the Movement Control Order is over just because some restrictions have been eased.

Health Director-General Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah says the MCO is still in effect and stressed non-compliant companies or members of the public are still subject to punishment.

He says the government was using the WHO’s 6 criteria for ending a lockdown to ease the MCO and urged the public to follow all SOPs issued by the Ministry.

Two more fatalities were also recorded yesterday, bringing the overall death toll to 105.
