Nine months of social distancing await

We’re in this for the long haul, it would seem. If the PM’s new public health adviser has her way, Malaysians will have to avoid mass gatherings and continue to practice social distancing for between six and nine months after the movement control order (MCO) is lifted.

This comes as two more buildings are placed under enhanced MCO and three more districts join the red zone list, while the government is mulling different rules for different zones after the MCO is relaxed.
