It's Day 21 of MCO and has been a few days since we updated, so here's what you should know from around the world.
1. Singapore has gone into its own month-long lockdown following an announcement by their President. Unfortunately, it resulted in their own version of panic buying that is lining up in IKEA. Guess it's because they 'atas sikit' so cannot panic buy at normal Mydin or Speedmart99.
2. Yesterday our DG of Health, Dato Hisham announced that we made more recoveries than new cases so HOORAY! Also the Ministry is increasing its capacity for testing - despite there being a shortage of reagent (don't worry, they are in the midst of getting more). Now, aside from that, the DG also recommended that you clean your hands after playing with your pets.
Now, this does not mean you throw away your pets due to coronavirus fears!! In fact, your pets should be more worried of you passing the virus to them rather than the other way. We mean, just ask the poor Malayan Tiger that got the virus.
3. Dairy farmers in the US are now dumping out milk from their supply due to the disruption in their service. But don't worry you will still get your Dutchlady.
4. The courts have begun sentencing those who have been caught violating the MCO with fines and community service. So moral of the story, Stay at Home! We know lot's of you went out to get the new McD Burger.
And finally,
5. MPs around Malaysia are helping the less fortunate with their groceries. Let's just hope they weren't handing out the goods with a Doremon voice. Yeesh.
