Meanwhile, Ismail also announced that offices nationwide can now operate in full capacity
The previous 30% maximum capacity rule for offices in areas under CMCO will no longer apply beginning 1 April.
The ruling also allows factories and public services to operate in full capacity.
Although the total daily number of COVID-19 cases is on a downward trend, Ismail revealed that some states are still seeing an unstable trend or even an increase in cases
Interstate travel is still prohibited, except for the targeted travel bubble initiative announced previously.
On 10 March, interstate travel for tourism between RMCO areas was permitted, but travellers have to book their holiday through tourism agencies registered with the Tourism, Arts, and Culture Ministry (MOTAC).
