Good morning foodies! Over the weekend, we’re sure you have seen videos or photos of eateries getting a ‘spot check’ circulating on Facebook. Also, in those videos, it was shown several RELA officers (probably about 8) entering the premise of an eatery. In line with such enforcement, we have listed the official SOPs that all eateries must follow to avoid getting a ticket. Keep reading if you’re intending to make fewer mistakes!
8 Business Premises In Penang Fined For Violating SOPs
Before we begin, here’s a friendly reminder: Malaysia is currently in the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO). While regulations are more relaxed, we should all still keep our guards up to avoid being a victim of this pandemic. In the RMCO period, dine-ins are allowed but it is compulsory for eateries to abide by the SOPs. Of course, this is to safeguard both restaurant employees as well as patrons.
Unfortunately, here in Penang, 8 business premises received fines for violating RMCO SOPs. So, as a safety precaution, we’ve once again listed out the SOPs for all eateries to abide by. They are:
1. Screening & Recording Temperatures
Eateries are to screen and record the temperatures for employees and patrons upon entering the premise.
2. Distance Between Tables
A strict distance of 2-meters must be adhered to between every table.
3. Clear Entrance & Exit Pathways
Eateries are to form a clear and separate entrance & exit paths.
4. Social Distancing
Patrons must practice a 1-meter social distancing between other patrons.
5. Hand-Sanitizer
Alcohol-based hand sanitizer must be provided at each eatery.
6. Disinfection & Sterilisation
Stalls must be cleaned and disinfected using detergent, according to the instructions by KKM.
7. Face Masks
Restaurant employees and patrons must wear face masks at all times.
8. Check-In Via App
Patrons are to check-in via the MySejahtera or PGCare applications.
