MCO: Selected Harvey Norman stores are now allowed to resume operations

As announced by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) last week, restrictions for selected sectors will be lifted in phases during the third phase of the movement control order (MCO). Harvey Norman has revealed that they have been granted approval to open during the MCO and it is applicable to 14 stores in Peninsular Malaysia.

Similar to supermarkets during the MCO, Harvey Norman will also conduct temperature checks at the entrance and they also encourage shoppers to use face mask and gloves.

MITI grants selected sectors to reopen

Since Monday, MITI has been accepting applications from eligible sectors that are permitted to open. Among the permitted sectors include automotive, machinery and equipment, aerospace, construction, hardware shops, electrical and electronic shops and optometrists. Businesses must receive approvals before they can operate.

The announcement had attracted criticism as it initially permitted barbers and optometry shops to reopen. Following the advice of the health director-general and public backlash, the Prime Minister had ordered that all barbers, hair salon and optometry shops must remain closed during the MCO period.
