Covid-19 SOP violation: Maximum compound of RM1mil may be issued to companies, agencies, says Khairy

JOHOR BARU: A maximum compound of RM1mil could be issued to companies, agencies and other organisations for flaunting Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOP), after an amendment has been made under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act (Act 342).

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said that the government is looking into amending Act 342 to give higher penalties to organisations, including those from the government sector and individuals that have failed to adhere to SOP.
