The restrictions, taking effect from May 12 to June 7, are necessary due to the surge in new COVID-19 cases nationwide, especially in the wake of new variants and poor public discipline in following standard operating procedures (SOP), said Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 (Xinhua) -- Malaysia will extend its movement control order (MCO) currently enforced in several areas to cover the whole country till June to curb the recent spike of COVID-19 cases, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said on Monday.
