PETALING JAYA (BERNAMA): In light of the rise in Covid-19 cases in the country, firmer action will be taken against those who violate the standard operating procedures (SOPs), says Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
The Defence Minister said that this will be enforced from Feb 4 onwards.
He also said that factory and construction workers accounted for the highest number of Covid-19 cases in the country.
"It is compulsory for all foreign workers working in factories and construction to undergo Covid-19 screenings from today," he said Monday (Feb 1).
Ismail Sabri also said that the economic sector would not be shut down to balance the lives and livelihoods of the people. - Bernama
