As the country looks to revitalise the economy after over a month under a partial shutdown, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin today announced the reopening of the majority of businesses and social activities from May 4.

However, the conditional movement control order (MCO) does not include businesses, operations, or any activities and events that would entail large gatherings, body contact and inability to maintain social distancing.

In a live address for Labour Day, the prime minister said the permission to reopen activities were based on strict rules and regulations, as well as standard operating procedures (SOPs).
