Throughout the RMCO period beginning March 19 till yesterday (March 24), a total of 46 compounds were issued, making the level of abidance to SOPs to be equivalent to 96%.
Perak police chief, Datuk Pahlawan Mior Faridalathrash Wahid stated that during the period of Conditional Movement Control Order two weeks ago, a total of 347 individuals were issued compounds.
“The difference in the numbers reflect a positive sign that the observance of SOPs by the people is increasing to curb the spread of COVID-19. At the same time, we see that the transmission trend is also decreasing and we believe it is due to the level of abidance. Thus, we urge Perakeans to continue playing their role,” he stated during a press conference at the Reception for Perak Media in conjunction with 214th Police Day at the Senior Police Officers’ Mess today (March 25).
The reception was held to appreciate the contribution of media members who often cooperate closely with the police to deliver information to the people especially within the state.
Present was Perak Media Sports and Welfare Club President, Rosli Mansor Ahmad Razali.
