Malaysia closes off all international travel starting Wednesday, 18th March due to Covid-19. Also all none essential businesses must close including educational institutions and all schools till the end of March 2020.

Its going to be an insane 2 weeks partial lock down. Hope these drastic measures will stop the spread of the virus.

As of now we can track all those reported within the country from https://outbreak.my

I could guess that tomorrow there would be a mass panic buying as everyone wants to stock up for about 2 weeks of food since most restaurants would be close off as well.

This is getting scary and I'm thinking to getting more supplies too since I've got the kids to think about too.. Let's see what happens tomorrow and take it one day at a time.

Cheers guys and stay safe..

Corona recently hit my country, Panama; its not that bad i would say but this was the kind of messure al countries should have taken when it spread so fast in China, sad kits cant go to school or even the park

Stay safe! I'm here in Chile and they just announce the same thing effecting same the same days as in MY.

Same thing in the USA! Good luck! Let’s all hope this blows over.🤞

Don't panic.

Essential businesses such as banks, grocers, petrol stations etc. are allowed to operate. Restaurants are allowed to deliver food even if you cannot dine in. You should still be able to get all your daily grocer needs if just a bit inconvenient.

By all means stock up on supplies but don't resort to panic buying as that causes more problem than necessary.

good to stock up too, maybe even more than 2 weeks in case they extend. Unless food delivery service and online grocery are still available.

From what has been stated all groceries and daily food essential business will remain open. But yea.. Better be prepared

Stay save with your love ones. In Germany allready people buying like mad. We did buy just for the kids the main things, thats all.
