KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 -- A four-week Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) will be implemented in all states in the peninsula except Pahang, Perlis and Kelantan from Nov 9 to Dec 6 due to the increasing COVID-19 cases, said Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said this was decided at a special meeting of the National Security Council (MKN) where a Health Ministry (MOH) report on the latest COVID-19 situation in the country was tabled.
“The enforcement of this CMCO will enable MOH to conduct targeted screenings and reduce movements in the community, apart from curbing the spread of COVID-19 in these states,” he told a press conference on the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) here today.
Ismail Sabri said this meant that the CMCO in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Selangor and Sabah due to end on Nov 9 will also be extended in tandem with the enforcement of the CMCO in seven other states in the peninsula.
He said the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the CMCO remains the same as previously announced, which includes a ban on inter-district and interstate travel except for emergency cases undertaken with police permission.
