Stricter MCO for Penang
BALIK PULAU: Parts of Penang are back under a stricter movement control order (MCO) as Covid-19 cases threaten to flare up.
After more than 100 days of “Covid-free bliss”, the local authorities are on the alert again and both city councils have tightened measures in several parts of the state after new cases began sprouting up in the community.
Eateries cannot serve dine-in and can do takeaway only. Playgrounds and public parks are closed. Barbers and hair salons must strictly comply with standard operating procedure.
No form of crowding is allowed.
The areas ordered to observe these restrictions are Teluk Kumbar, Sungai Batu and Gertak Sanggul on the south of Penang Island, and Central and Southern Seberang Prai Districts on the mainland.
Night bazaars (pasar malam) are closed for now and in Taman Sahabat, Teluk Kumbar, the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) warned in a statement that it would close the morning market unless the community adheres to the SOP strictly.
