KUALA LUMPUR, May 4 Malaysia today recorded 3,120 new Covid-19 infections, with 54.6 per cent or half of these patients found in the states of Selangor, Sarawak, and Kuala Lumpur alone, the Health Ministry’s latest statistics show.
PETALING JAYA: The movement control order will be reviewed, especially in states where there has been a surge in the number of Covid-19 infections, says Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
This re-evaluation is necessary to curb the increasing spread of the virus which is happening not only in Malaysia, but also globally, he said.
He said that premises which had been visited by a big number of those found positive for Covid-19 would be asked to close.
In a statement yesterday, he said the government had used an early warning system known as Hotspots Identification for Dynamic Engagement (HIDE) to identify areas and premises which were at high risk of transmitting the disease.
PETALING JAYA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Malaysia will announce a two-week movement control order (MCO) in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor and Sarawak from Monday (May 3) to curb the spread of Covid-19, according to sources, after the city and states saw a drastic spike in cases over the past two weeks.
Sources told The Star that the new MCO - its third so far - would be similar to the one that took place between Jan 11 and Jan 26 in parts of the country, in which economic activities were allowed but schools were closed and social and religious activities barred.
