After flattening the curve in May, Malaysians have complied diligently to the SOP set by the Health Ministry (MoH), wearing masks, washing and sanitising their hands and practising safe social distancing. Imported Covid cases were identified at the point of entry and isolated immediately.
BEFORE the conditional movement control order (CMCO) in early October, my friends who have businesses in retail and food and beverage (F&B) were pretty upbeat about the recovery of their businesses over the period of June to September.
Salaries of employees were restored as sales recovered, some even bringing back workers who were let go of in May. From May to September, minimal Covid-19 cases were reported in Malaysia and consumer confidence was slowly restored to almost the pre-Covid era.
