YAN: The police have advised volunteers providing help to flood victims here to always adhere to the standard operating procedure under Phase One of the National Recovery Plan (NRP).

       Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim said although the volunteers were providing help to the victims, there must be SOP compliance.

       “We don’t want them to roam in red zone areas, we don’t want them to carry the disease or get infected with Covid-19 because we (Kedah) are still in Phase One of the NRP.

       “We want to prevent the spread of the virus,” he told a press conference here yesterday.

       He was commenting on the presence of many volunteers from various non-governmental organisations in the district, providing help and delivering donations to the victims. — Bernama
