At the daily Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) press conference today, Senior Minister (Defence) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri touched on a few important topics.
Interstate travel
The Senior Minister revealed that police roadblocks are still active at state borders across the nation. Yesterday, 134 compounds were issued to those attempting interstate travel without a valid reason.
Of the compounds issued for interstate travel, he revealed that most of the violations took place in Perak (40 compounds), Selangor (29 compounds) and Penang (23 compounds).
I once again remind Malaysians that Interstate travel is not allowed, with the exception of four reasons I have previously mentioned, namely, emergency, death, work and long-distance spouses. There are no other exemptions.
Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri, Senior Minister (Defence).
Construction sites
Over 4,000 construction sites are still closed despite the partially lifted restrictions.
Nonetheless, inspections were carried out by the Construction Industry Development Board on 6,000 sites.
934 sites were found to be in full compliance with the Health Ministry’s standard operating procedure (SOP), while 224 sites did not and were issued warnings.
Barbershops & hair salons
In response to a reporter’s questions, the Senior Minister said that the National Security Council (MKN) is still in the process of forming health guidelines and SOPs for barbershops and hair salons with the Health Ministry.
He also stressed that house calls were strictly prohibited.
