Malaysians should get used to the absence of mass gatherings in the next six months as the country continues to recoil from the Covid-19 pandemic, Health Director-General Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said today.
Despite the extended movement control order (MCO) currently ending on April 14, he said Malaysians will now have to live with new norms to safeguard themselves from Covid-19.
“For example, it is now the norm for us not to shake hands, constantly wash our hands and also practise safe social distancing of about one metre.
“On mass gatherings, from six-months to a year, we can see that we discourage mass gatherings,” said Dr Noor Hisham during the daily press conference on Covid-19. – MMO
