Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob today said veterinary clinics will be allowed to operate during the movement control order period.
Responding to queries from pet owners and pet lovers, Ismail, however, said the permission granted is limited to an appointment-only basis.
"Many pet lovers have asked whether veterinary clinics will be opened.
"The government have agreed to allow operations of veterinary clinics but services provided are only based on prior appointments," he said during the daily National Security Council Covid-19 update press conference in Putrajaya.
