KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The second phase of the movement control order (MCO), which begins Wednesday (April 1), is a critical period for Malaysians to determine whether efforts to break the Covid-19 chain of infection are successful or not.

Its effectiveness will surely depend, among others, on the people’s level of discipline to comply with the MCO, whereby the public is continuously being urged to stay at home, frequently wash their hands and adopt social distancing.

During the two weeks of phase one of the MCO from March 18, the number of positive cases daily sometimes trended upwards and sometimes plateaued while the number of patients discharged daily increased by the day. Under the second phase, all business premises selling daily essentials, including supermarkets and petrol stations, are allowed to operate from 8am to 8pm only.

What is certain, though, is that the next 14 days would give an indication as to whether the Ramadan month and Hari Raya Aidilfitri this year will be celebrated the usual way.
