Avoid mass gatherings for at least six months after MCO, says ex-Health DG

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians are hoping that they can get back to normal life after the movement control order (MCO) is lifted, but activities cannot return to normal just yet, says a former Health director-general.

Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican said that everyone must still practise social distancing and avoid crowds such as the annual Ramadan food bazaars, mass gatherings and weddings for at least six months after the MCO period.
