Govt will take necessary action if cases rise and SOP flouted

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has warned all Malaysians not to throw caution to the wind after 13 new Covid-19 clusters were detected recently.He said there was a possibility the government could reimpose a stricter movement control order (MCO) if there was a spike in the number of cases.

With the number of cases returning to double digits, the government is now considering making it compulsory to wear face masks in public and if necessary, place Malaysians returning from overseas at quarantine centres again while imposing heavier penalties on those found flouting laws and regulations.
