Public taking fewer precautions

PETALING JAYA: As the implementation of the recovery movement control order (MCO) enters its second week, members of the public are beginning to take fewer precautions and flouting rules outlined by the National Security Council (MKN) and Health Ministry, which exposes the nation to the risk of another wave of local Covid-19 transmissions.

Observations conducted at public areas such as eateries and shopping centres saw many people disobeying the standard operating procedure (SOP) by failing to register either by scanning the QR code or writing down contact details, and not maintaining social distancing.
