Kuala Lumpur, 31st January 2022 - Some 2,532 COVID-19 compliance teams will be deployed nationwide to keep watch on activities during the Chinese New Year festive period.
Internal Security and Public Order Department Director, CP Dato' Hazani Ghazali, who disclosed this yesterday, said more than 8,000 police personnel and officers will join hands with other enforcement agencies involved.
"The teams will be deployed as we step up our compliance operations during the festive period. We want to ensure that the standard operating procedure (SOP) is adhered to.
"Patrols will be increased to emphasise the top priority on the SOP," he told The Star.
Dato' Hazani advised the public to adhere to the SOP to prevent the spread of COVID -19.
"The virus is still out there and remains dangerous.
"The government has relaxed some restrictions to enable interstate travel and the reunion dinner, so we hope that the public will respond by playing their part," he added.
"We will take stern action against anyone who violates the SOP under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988," he said.
