3 day closure for premises flagged by Hide; no Ramadan bazaars in MCO areas

 


All premises flagged by the Hotspot Identification for Dynamic Engagement (Hide) system will be closed for three days, said Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The government has also decided that all Ramadan and Aidilfitri bazaars in movement control order (MCO 3.0) areas will be closed effective Monday.

Speaking about Hide premises, Ismail Sabri said due to the risk of Covid-19 transmission, those listed in the system will be closed with immediate effect.

A Defence Ministry aide confirmed with the media that this meant all locations listed today would have to be closed.

Over 150 premises were flagged by the Hide system today, mostly in the Klang Valley.

They comprise largely of popular shopping malls such as Suria KLCC, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Mid Valley Megamall, Bangsar Shopping Centre and the Curve.

Hypermarket chains including Giant and Lotus in various locations, convenient stores such as 99 Speedmart outlets and wet markets are also on the list.

The initial Hide frequently asked questions released this morning stated there was no need for premises flagged to shut down - but said pre-emptive action was needed.

Among pre-emptive measures that could be taken include sending a casual contact notification via MySejahtera; stricter movement control for visitors; preventing entry to high-risk customers/visitors; setting up a work bubble or work from home arrangements; and mass screening of employees.

The FAQ stated that the listed premises are not actual clusters but potential clusters which could be at risk of materialising unless pre-emptive measures are taken. - Mkini
