PUTRAJAYA:Starting Friday, more than two customers in all areas under the Movement Control Order (MCO) will be allowed to dine-in, subject to table size and the one-metre physical distancing rule.

And, more than two persons will also be allowed to travel in one vehicle, depending on the passenger capacity.

These are among the relaxation of the MCO rules decided by the government, which will take effect Friday.

“Taking into consideration the requests from various quarters, we (government) decided to relax the rules.

"However, I would like to remind the public to practice self-control...it is also not advisable for children and senior citizens to be taken outside,” Senior Minister (Defence Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob told the press conference on the MCO situation here today.

The MCO in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Johor and Penang has been extended until March 4.

Based on the previous MCO rules, only two persons were allowed to sit together during dine-in and travel in one vehicle.
