As a result, facilities such as schools, public parks and places of worship will be closed. These places include:

  • Daycare centres
  • Recreational centres
  • Temples
  • Mosques
  • Pubs
  • Nightclubs

Social gatherings, weddings and inter-district travel will also be prohibited, said Mr Ismail Sabri.

2 from each household allowed to buy necessities

According to CNA, 2 people from each household will be allowed to go outside and buy necessities.

Industries will still remain open, with the proper healthcare precautions in place, reports The Straits Times.

Malaysia experiencing 3rd wave of Covid-19

According to CoronaTracker, Malaysia has recorded 563 confirmed cases of Covid-19 on Monday (12 Oct).

This comes in at the second highest since the start of the pandemic. The highest number recorded was 691 cases on 6 Oct.
