Malaysia NATIONWIDE Lockdown To Combat COVID-19!

During this time, all government and private offices and businesses, except those providing essential services, will be shuttered.

Although there are no restrictions on travel within Malaysia, you will have nowhere to go, as all shops will be closed, except supermarkets, grocery shops and convenience stores selling essential items.

Schools, colleges, universities, cinemas, cafes, restaurants, and so on, will also be closed.

But here’s an update : restaurants will REMAIN OPEN to provide home delivery services. You won’t be able to dine in, but you can have them delivered to you.

We highly recommend that everyone just stay in your homes, and ride out the COVID-19 pandemic. Think of it as a 2-week government-mandated holiday! 😀
