The Movement Control Order (MCO) effects towards F&B industry. [Website]
Abstract
On Tuesday (18 March 2020), the MCO has announced after the number of Covid-19 cases skyrocketed over a few days. All non-essential services were ordered to close and restaurants were only allowed to operate takeaway and delivery options. No dine-in under any circumstance.
Open-air markets, both night and day, were not allowed to operate. Yet, wet markets housed inside brick-and-mortar buildings could still remain open. The conflicting directive drew flak from traders and the public who argued that you were less likely to contract the virus in an open-air area compared to a confined, sealed-in space. On top of that, the traders operating in open-air markets were also licensed by the authorities to carry out their business.
