THE World Health Organisation declared the outbreak of Covid-19 as a pandemic on March 11 2020. As at June 20, more than 8.6 million confirmed cases have been reported worldwide, while in Malaysia the number of infections was 8,535 with 8,070 recoveries.
On March 18 this year, the Malaysian government implemented the movement control order (MCO), which mandated the closure of many businesses. This was to contain the spread of the disease.
Despite being one of the early bird industries that was allowed to commence operations, many electrical and electronics (E&E) companies were affected by the lockdown which disrupted their business.
