The premier has said that he will monitor the implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) across the country from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and direct provinces to submit daily reports in this regard.

"We will close down places that violate SOPs. All monitoring will be done from [PMO] and it will be closed, whether it be a shop, a mall or a factory. If the virus is spreading in a neighbourhood, and people aren't following rules, we will cordon off the area. The Tiger Force will help the administration with this."

He added that the government had not been strict about it before because it did not have data "but now that it has, I will monitor, analyse and enforce strictness [in following SOPs]".

The premier added that the government has also asked data managers in all hospitals to give it feedback so it could get "accurate data".
