Foreigner travelers are banned from entering the country and the food supply will be provided from local sources, according to a statement from Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. Gatherings are forbidden, including religious, sporting, social and cultural events and all shops are to close except food retail businesses such as markets, supermarkets, minimarkets and convenience stores.
