Most in Ipoh and Penang welcome relaxations for the fully vaccinated but remain cautious

IPOH, Aug 10 ― Most eateries and hotels in both Penang and Ipoh welcome the government’s decision to allow dine-in and hotel stays for those who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 but some remain cautious because of the high number of cases nationwide.

Konda Kondi Cafe and Bistro staff are seen at work as Covid-19 restrictions were lifted in Ipoh August 6, 2021. — Picture by Farhan Najib Meanwhile, over in Penang, Forest Canteen Cafe owner Vin Chee said they will continue with the current take-away and delivery system until September.He said all of his staff, including himself, have not received their vaccinations yet but he plans to buy a Covid-19 vaccination package for the whole team.Its owner, Jasmine Toh, said most of the workers have only received their first dose of the vaccine.

He said they have been receiving enquiries on when they will be opening for dine-in from customers so he believes there are customers who are keen to eat in the restaurant once they open for dine-in. “So, it is useless to allow dine-in with this condition. There was no priority for us to get vaccinated, most of the workers are still waiting for their vaccine appointments, and yet, the condition to allow dine-in was for the staff to be fully vaccinated,” he said.

He said there are about 8,000 workers in the hospitality industry in Penang and about 90 per cent have received their first dose while the remaining 10 per cent are still waiting to receive theirs. She added that cases are rising fast in Ipoh so everyone should be treated as possible carriers at this point.

Another rider, Yogeswaran Munusamy, said there was no certainty that it is safe to dine-in at eateries right now. Interpreter Siti Zubaidah Mohd Lani said she too would not eat out just yet as she has young children at home. “Since last year, 11 hotels have shut down and many hotels are also temporarily closed these few months since they were not allowed to operate,” he said.
