Govt also practising social distancing and taking other measures


PETALING JAYA: On Thursday morning (March 19), Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob gave updates on the Movement Control Order (MCO) to the public via national telecast with a very contained press conference, where only official media Bernama and RTM were present.

Maintaining a safe distance between one another is more important now than ever before, and the government is in the midst of implementing guidelines and measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
