Initially the authorities said that only two people were allowed to sit at a table when dining-in at CMCO areas.

Then, senior minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said four people were allowed but for "big tables".


Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari later said for Selangor five people were allowed on tables that were meant for 10.

(By this time, most people were just confused as to who to follow.)

Anyway, there's a new allocation now.

Four people per table

The latest ruling by the National Security Council (NSC) says that only four people are allowed per table when dining-in at eateries in Selangor, Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur.

According to a report by Malay Mail, the NSC encouraged drive-throughs and takeaways and said that dining-in is only allowed in Selangor, Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur.

No dine-ins are allowed in Sabah.


The NSC detailed that four people were allowed per table with physical distancing practised (one-metre distance).

Eateries will also have to adhere to existing SOP based on the type of eatery.

So take note everyone.

Just follow whatever directions provided and hang in there.

The CMCO imposed in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Sabah will end on 9 November.
