PETALING JAYA: Several areas in Sabah, Sarawak and Pahang will be under the enhanced movement control order starting Monday (May 24) to June 6 following a spike in infections there.
One of the localities, Rumah Panjang Nyalu in Mukah, Sarawak has seen a significant rise in cases over a week with a positivity rate of 71.8%, said Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob in a statement on Saturday (May 22).
The Senior Minister said the enhanced MCO would allow health authorities to detect more cases earlier and avoid the infection from spreading to other areas.
In Sabah, the localities are Kampung Melikai in Kuala Penyu and Silimpopon estate and mill in Kalabakan.
