Malaysia will let nearly all economic activities resume as it enters a partially eased lockdown starting May 4.
The government will enforce guidelines for companies to ensure there are no large gatherings and people take precautions to reduce risk of infections, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said in a televised address. Even so, companies are encouraged to let employees work from home if possible and to consider their childcare obligations, he said.
