KUALA LUMPUR:The standard operating procedure (SOP) for interstate movement which only allows travelling for work and other urgent matters is adequate for the time being.
Therefore, Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said there is no need to tighten further the SOP for interstate movements which came into effect during the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO).
He explained that permission for interstate travel would only be given to those who need to be present in office and to reduce movements as well as interaction among the people, the work from home order (WFH) was enforced from Oct 22.
"The public sector has reduced the presence of personnel in office, nonetheless for the economic and industrial sectors, we are allowing employees to travel across states including sending their goods.
"So long as interstate travel for work is in force, we will not tighten interstate travel SOP," he told a media conference on the implementation of Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) at Wisma Pertahanan here today.
