KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 9, 2021, Malay Mail. Diners can eat out at restaurants again starting tomorrow, Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced today even as the current movement control order (MCO) is set to conclude next week, Malay Mail reported.

However, he added that patrons opting to dine-in will be limited to two people per table and must comply with the existing standard operating procedures (SOP), including a physical distance of one metre from other patrons.
