KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 29): An enhanced movement control order (EMCO) will be implemented at the Kamunting Correctional Centre (Kemta) in Taiping, Perak, as well as its staff quarters, from tomorrow to Jan 12.
Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the EMCO is aimed at controlling the existing cluster and preventing the spread of Covid-19 to other prisoners, staff, family members and communities outside Kemta. As of Dec 24, the MoH (Ministry of Health) had screened a total of 1,490 detainees and, of the total, 50 were found to be positive for Covid-19, he said in a statement here today.
Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri said 142 individuals were issued with compounds for violating the recovery MCO (RMCO) yesterday, while 16 immigrants were arrested and three land vehicles confiscated under the Ops Benteng operation.
