People returning to their hometowns need to do a self-evaluation to keep themselves and their family safe.

Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said, the guidelines set out earlier were still in effect and needed to be complied with.

“Try it in a small house, maybe the number of people is less than we used to allow.

"If possible, there is no need to crowd in one house. As I said, the more people in a home in a closed environment, the more dangerous it is.

"We are the ones who decide what is good and bad for the safety of our own self as well as that of our family," he told a daily press conference here today.
