Let me share what *PARTIAL LOCKDOWN* is...
1. All companies and government to *CLOSE* unless you are part of the essential service.
2. Effective 18th March u still can go out from your house, this is NOT a full lockdown. U can go out to work at all the if you work at essential services places or if you don't work there, you can go and use the service... Banking, get your meds, your groceries etc...
3. Restaurants are NOT to serve customers but can open for DELIVERY SERVICES.
But if your restaurant DO NOT have delivery services, You are NOT ALLOWED to open.
Restaurants CANNOT serve dine in customers. Hurrah for foodpanda and grabfood at times like this...

5. You are NOT ALLOWED to travel outstation or in the highways from 18th March to stop the spread of the Virus... So please stay put where you are unless there is a family emergency or something.. We do not want to spread this virus to the even more vulnerable old folks in the kampung area do we...
6. You can still go out jogging, hiking, exercise but AVOID close contact with others... Hurrah for that... At least we can do some exercise and fresh air is always good for us... But avoid other people, now is soo not the time to be socialising...
7. Supermarkets, marts, will be open. Staff in this places are allowed to go to work. And you can go as customers. Again try avoiding crowds and wear a mask, most especially if you have a flu or sneezing or coughing in any way... Or bring a hankerchief to cover your mouth for heaven's sake...
8. Since this is NOT a full lockdown, you do not need to worry about essential staff travelling to work. They can still travel as long as not outstation.
9. No public weddings, small scale funerals... Sorry.. This is the time to save a lot of money on your wedding or if you must have a grand one then wait until next month...
