JERANTUT (Bernama): The government is not planning to implement a nationwide movement control order but will proceed with targeted movement restrictions instead, says Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said the targeted MCO could also be enforced following the Hotspots Identification for Dynamic Engagement (HIDE) system, which would indicate specific areas with Covid-19 hotspots.
"If there is a hotspot, we will enforce an MCO according to the village, subdistrict or district with a large number of cases but it will still be done in a targeted manner.
"However, various possibilities can occur because according to data from the Health Ministry (MOH), cases could reach up to more than 5,000 after the (Aidilfitri) celebration and can rise to 10,000 cases in July and August if there is no intervention from the government," he said.
