GEORGE TOWN: Hawkers and small food businesses in Penang are in no hurry to open for dine-in services as they feel there are no clear directions for those fully-vaccinated individuals to enter their eateries. While the latest standard operating procedure (SOP) provides that those who are fully vaccinated can dine in, eateries and hawkers say there are too many unanswered questions. “To hire more people just to sit at the entrance to properly check whether incoming customers are considered ‘vaccinated’ is additional cost for us. Tan said besides concerns over costs, hawkers are also not familiar with determining how a person is considered fully vaccinated. “We would not know how to look at their vaccination cards or determine the exact number of days after vaccination for the individual to be considered ‘vaccinated’.
