The National Security Council (NSC) has released its latest version of the standard operating procedures for the conditional movement control order (CMCO) that has been imposed on the Klang Valley and Sabah until November 9, including whether dining-in is allowed.
The NSC yesterday issued two separate sets of CMCO SOPs as of October 31 for the Klang Valley and for Sabah, with some of the SOPs overlapping while others differ or are state-specific.
For example, the NSC in its October 31 SOPs encourage food purchase via drive-through, delivery or takeaway while dining-in is allowed in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya with a maximum of four people to one table with physical distancing of one metre and with the relevant food industry SOPs to be complied with.
But for Sabah, the NSC’s October 31 SOPs state that food purchase is limited to only drive-through, delivery and takeaway, while dining-in is not allowed.
(To recap, CMCO was initially imposed on Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya from October 14 to October 27, and on Sabah initially from October 13 to October 26. The CMCO for both Klang Valley and Sabah has since been extended from October 27 to November 9.
During the initial CMCO period, senior minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob had on October 13 said dining-in was allowed in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya with a maximum of two people per table, but on October 15 said a maximum of four people per table is allowed if the table is big.
On October 16, Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said Selangor eateries are allowed to seat a maximum of five people for bigger tables that could usually accommodate 10 people, following the Selangor state government’s discussion with the NSC and local authorities.)
