Employers must play role in curbing Covid-19, avoiding total lockdown, says Lam Thye


KUALA LUMPUR: Total economic shutdown in a bid to stop the spread of Covid-19 infections should be avoided, but employers must play their part, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye (pic).

The Alliance for Safety Community chairman said safety at the workplace is paramount, thus employers should fully comply with safety procedures introduced by the Occupational Safety and Health Department (DOSH), while adhering to the Health Ministry's standard operating procedures (SOPs).
