The use of the new term refers to the public observing a one-metre distance from each other in the new norm. "The term social distancing has now been replaced by physical distancing," the ministry said via Twitter. In addition, the public must also comply with the conditions set under the recovery movement control order (MCO). Those in the high-risk category such as children, infants, the elderly and the disabled need to be protected and individuals who feel unwell and show symptoms are urgently required to undergo a health examination. As of Thursday (July 30), there were eight new Covid-19 cases reported, bringing total infections to 8,964 and the number of active cases to 223. - Bernama Article type: metered User Type: anonymous web User Status: Campaign ID: 18 Cxense type: free User access status: 3 Tags / Keywords: Social distancing , SOP , Covid-19 , physical distancing Did you find this article insightful?
