KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 -- Owner of business premises are allowed to inspect customer’s wrists and ban those with a quarantine wristband from entering their outlets, said Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He said business owners could also lodge a police report so that detentions could be made on those who had had violated the mandatory quarantine order.

“Actually, those with quarantine wristbands are not allowed to go out because they can endanger other people.

“It is a serious offence and that’s why business owners must stop them from entering their premises and immediately report them to the authorities so that prompt actions can be taken,” he told a press conference on the development of the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) at Wisma Pertahanan, here, today.

He was responding to a question on whether the government would include wrist inspection at entrances of premises in the standard operating procedure (SOP) as it was already practiced by several restaurants.

Commenting on the confusions on the implementations of double quarantines on individuals who arrive in the peninsula from abroad and continuing their journey to Sarawak, Ismail Sabri said the state government had the right to determine whether those entering the state had to undergo a further quarantine or allow them to proceed to their respective destinations.

“There are two situations involving quarantine. Travellers who arrived at any airport and took connecting flights to Sarawak, don’t have to undergo the quarantine twice because they didn’t leave the airport areas.

“Secondly, those who didn’t go directly to Sarawak and stayed for one or two days around the airport. These people would be quarantined because they have left the airport areas and when they enter Sarawak, they may be subjected to quarantine again,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri said for commercial vehicles which frequently travel inter-district or inter-state to pick up goods were only required to obtain the authorisation letter once, starting from the application date until the end of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) period.

However, for ‘weekend’ husbands or wives, they were required to apply for a new authorisation letter each time they wanted to travel inter-district or inter-state.
