KUALA LUMPUR (March 30): Under the second phase of the movement control order (MCO) rules to combat the spread of COVID-19, the authorities would limit the number of people in a privately owned car to “one person per car”.
“Phase 2 will commence on April 1. We will increase (the regulations) in terms of movement control.
“I wish to stress that under Phase 2, movement is still permitted.
“But as mentioned earlier, when using a personal car, you are allowed to purchase groceries and whatnot but it will be limited to one person per car,” Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob told the media in Putrajaya today.
Malaysiakini previously reported that the National Security Council had stated that only the "head of the family" was allowed to do grocery shopping.
On March 21, Works Minister Fadillah Yusof said that “the guidelines, rather than a rule, was that police may allow extra occupants in the vehicle if there are valid reasons”.
Meanwhile, all business premises selling essential items, including supermarkets and petrol stations, are to operate from 8am to 8pm under the second phase of the MCO, starting April 1.
Ismail Sabri said the directive is also applied to stalls and restaurants as well as food delivery services.
