Checking customers’ vaccine status tricky, say eateries

EATERY operators in Sibu, Sarawak, say they should not be the ones to enforce the dine-in rule among customers.

Sibu Coffee Shop and Restaurant Owners Association chairman Tong Ing Kok said unvaccinated people should decide for themselves whether they need to dine in, and if they decided to do so, they should exercise care by following the standard operating procedure (SOP).He agreed that enforcing a dine-in restriction on those who had not been vaccinated was good as it could help stop the spread of Covid-19, but pushing the responsibility to eatery operators would only burden them.
