MIRI: Miri City Council here today inspected a total of 20 food outlets at the Boulevard Commercial Centre and Krokop.

This was done to ensure all standard operating procedures (SOPs) were fully complied with as a measure to curb the spread of Covid19.

Mayor Adam Yii was seen leading the inspection.

“This inspection will be continually be conducted to ensure food outlets and other licensed premises, which are under the purview of Miri City Council, are following the SOP guidelines laid down with the implementation of the conditional movement control order (CMCO) on January 13,” Yii said.

He was accompanied by head of Corporate Section Md Zaidi and eight enforcement officers.

The checklist for the inspection included the compliance of wearing face masks, putting on serving tables based on one-metre distancing as well as checking of the validity of their licences issued by MCC.

Yii observed that the general feedback gathered from the inspection indicated that the food outlet operators had followed the SOPs issued by the authorities.

Some of the operators had even taken initiatives of going around the serving tables to oversee the customers were following the SOPs, he said.

Nevertheless, there were some isolated cases of minor non-compliance of which the council officers had given them verbal advice and reminders.

In view that the State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) still classifying Miri District as red zone (since January 14) and there are still positive Covid-19 cases reported in Miri, Yii urged the public

to give their fullest cooperation to the authorities concerned during this crucial time.

He also reminded all to stay safe, put on face mask in public places, observe physical distancing of one metre and avoid going to crowed places.

Those with any symptom of fever, coughing or flu, they should quickly seek medical assistance, he stressed.
