Entrances to shophouses, five-footways, corridors, bus stops, pavement railings, various facilities and surfaces that people regularly touch or come into contact with were thoroughly disinfected using manual spraying.

Lo commended the council’s staff for their exemplary and untiring efforts during this trying time and called upon all the relevant authorities to assist in disinfecting all public areas.

“The public can play their role by staying at home, maintaining a high standard of personal hygiene and practising social distancing when out doing their marketing. Together we fight Covid-19,” he added. — DayakDaily
