KUCHING:
All eateries and restaurants in Sarawak can open their doors to dine-in customers from tomorrow, according to the state Disaster Management Committee (JPBN).

In a statement today, it said only restaurant operators and workers who have received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine will be allowed to work in such premises.

The guidelines and SOPs on the matter can be obtained at the state local government and housing ministry’s website.

“JPBN would like to give a stern warning to all economic sectors allowed to operate to always comply with the SOPs. The committee will not hesitate to take action against anyone for non-compliance.

“The JPBN will immediately close their operations (if they defy the SOPs) for 14 days if Covid-19 cases are reported to have spread from their premises.

“The cost of screening and sanitisation will have to be borne by the owners or operators of the eateries,” it said.

The statement said JPBN would also issue a compound fine notice if the operators or their workers failed to comply with the SOPs.

Sarawak today recorded 363 new cases and four deaths due to Covid-19.
