On April 28, the government announced that economic sectors that were allowed to operate at half capacity during phases one to three of the MCO were now allowed to carry on at full capacity.
Ismail Sabri had hinted that phase four of the MCO would see more rules being relaxed, starting with allowing two persons from a family to go out on errands and travel beyond 10km. – The Star
