Many took to social media to express their agreement or their concerns.
@wannotone said that if the latest restrictions are enforced “totally” together with mass Covid-19 testing, the enhanced MCO would succeed.
@Macyng71 had a similar opinion, tweeting, “Right action. Tough but effective. Testing everyone and quarantining all positives is effective”.
On Facebook, user Khatijah Ibrahim said it was “better late than never” and expressed her hope that the outcome of the enhanced MCO would be positive.
“Sorry to say but if the whole of Selangor is under lockdown for two or four weeks while the whole population is vaccinated, God willing, there will be an improvement,” said Facebook user Ruby Nordzalina.
