The people will be given enough time to make preparations before any measure is implemented to control the recent surge in Covid-19 cases, said Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He advised the people to refrain from panic buying following speculations that the government would be reimplementing the full movement control order (MCO) nationwide.

Ismail Sabri Yaakob also urges the people not to be easily taken in by fake news over the matter.
