Bazaars, supermarkets in 5 Kedah MCO areas to reopen
Ramadan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri bazaars will be allowed to operate under strict compliance with the standard operating procedures (SOP) in five districts in Kedah placed under the Movement Control Order (MCO).
The districts are Kota Setar, Kuala Muda, Bandar Baharu, Baling and Kulim.
Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor said supermarkets were also allowed to operate in the five districts, which had been placed under the MCO since May 1.
“Just finished attending the National Security Council special meeting (that was conducted virtually), which started at 2.30pm today (yesterday).
“Important decisions were made about the five districts placed under the MCO.
“Supermarkets, Ramadan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri bazaars are allowed to operate with strict compliance with the SOP,” Sanusi posted on Facebook yesterday.
He said other measures would be announced by Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
Sanusi did not indicate when Ismail Sabri would make the announcement.
It was reported that the five districts were placed under the MCO after registering an increase in new infections for the past 14 days.
