PETALING JAYA: Finding new hobbies and making optimum use of grocery trips are some of the ways Malaysians are spending their time during the latest movement control order (MCO).
Daniel Lee said he will be spending more time with his family by playing board games with them.
“We’ve purchased some board games online and we are trying them out as a bonding activity.
“It can feel monotonous having to stay at home yet again, but we are making the best of it by having some fun indoors, ” said the 32-year-old financial analyst.
Facebook user Wei Ching said she limits her grocery shopping, which is what she did during the first round of the movement control order.
PETALING JAYA: As Covid-19 deaths and infections continue to set daily records, Malaysians are asking how they can keep safe from the disease that has claimed more than 2,000 lives.
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia recorded its highest ever daily figure after registering 6,075 new Covid-19 cases.
The country’s coronavirus death toll has also breached the 2,000 mark after another 46 fatalities were recorded, and 559 patients are now in intensive care units (ICU) nationwide.
With Malaysia’s Covid-19 situation reaching new heights, Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has called on all quarters to put aside their differences and overcome the pandemic as one.
“It is hoped that everybody is aware of the humbling situation that is occurring in this country.
“We all need to work closely with each other and face these difficult times together.
