PUTRAJAYA: The government has rescinded its decision to allow hair and beauty salons as well as optometry shops to operate during the movement control order (MCO) period, says Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. “We are aware the decision to allow hair salons and barbershops to operate has been an issue. “The government listens to the people and in line with this, the Prime Minister has decided not to allow these businesses to operate throughout the MCO. On April 10, the government announced that it would allow an additional list of businesses to operate during the MCO. It was later announced that the plan was to only allow barbers and hair salons located in “green zones” to operate.
