KUALA LUMPUR: Outlets in shopping malls would only need to record the names and phone numbers of visitors for contact tracing purposes and would no longer be required to scan body temperature.
Senior Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the Special Cabinet Meeting on the Movement Control Order (MCO) today decided that body temperature screening would only be conducted once at the main entrance of shopping malls.
"Outlets (within shopping malls) would no longer need to conduct temperature screening checks. They however must still record attendance of customers such as names and phone numbers via the MySejahtera application or manually.
"This will enable contact tracing if there is a case of Covid-19 reported," he said at a press conference in Putrajaya today.
Ismail Sabri said a similar approach also applied to hotels where guests would be visiting the restaurants or gift shops and that hotel management would only need to record guests' body temperature at the main entrance.
Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri said the Covid-19 public sanitation operations under the Housing and Local Government ministry, had carried out 9,011 sanitation operations covering 134 zones since March 30.
As of June 28, 22 sanitation operations had been carried out covering 14 zones in four states including Sabah with ten operations, Melaka (9) and Terengganu (2).
