IPOH, May 21 — On the eve of the enforcement of the enhanced movement control order (EMCO) in four mukim in Perak, Mentri Besar Datuk Saarani Mohamad implored state residents not to treat the Covid-19 pandemic lightly.
In a special address broadcast through Facebook, Saarani said that many people were still underestimating the threat of Covid-19.
“I was worried when some said the Covid-19 disease is just a fabrication. So much so that compliance with the standard operating procedures (SOP) was ignored and underestimated.
“And at one point, some considered violating the SOP to be a matter of pride,” he said.
