An entire village spanning two districts in Kelantan was placed under an Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) when 78 Covid-19 cases were found in the community on 7 May.
Kampung Pauh Lima – situated in Bachok and Kota Bharu – and its 1,032 residents will be confined to their homes from 19 May till 1 June.
According to the Kelantan Police Chief Datuk Shafien Mamat, the village will be tightly secured to avoid villagers from moving about. Authorities will also be blocking off ‘laluan tikus’ or hidden trails within the village to keep people in.
104 officers will be on station throughout the (EMCO) period. We’ve identified seven laluan tikus and are looking for appropriate locations to set up barbed wires.
