Ismail Sabri also said a total of 975 roadblocks are currently in place throughout the country to curb the movement of people, meanwhile 95 sanitisation operations were carried out throughout the country on Sunday (June 6th). 

Please don’t be complacent, guys! We need to do this together if we want life to get back to normal…

Remember, ONLY leave your house for essential matters like going out to get groceries, going to the clinic to see the doctor or if you’re going to work! Follow the SOPs, maintain physical distancing and always wear a face mask.

Stay safe and stay healthy!
