PUTRAJAYA has decided to extend the movement-control order (MCO) in Selangor, Johor, Kuala Lumpur and Penang till March 4, said Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Senior Minister said the new order will start on February 19 as the previous order expires on February 18.

“As for Kedah, Perak, Negri Sembilan, Malacca, Pahang, Terengganu, Kelantan, Putrajaya, Labuan and Sabah, we have agreed to place the states under the conditional movement-control order (CMCO),” Ismail Sabri said.

Ismail Sabri said Perlis, which has continued to report low numbers of Covid-19 cases, will be the only state to be placed under the recovery movement-control order (RMCO).

“The standard operating procedure (SOP) is still the same. For CMCO areas, you can dine-in with more than two people at the same table but there must be social distancing.”

“Spa, gatherings, weddings are allowed to open but must adhere to SOP,” he added.

Ismail Sabri said that the status in Sarawak remains unchanged.

“Sarawak is still under the CMCO.” 

Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri said that Putrajaya has agreed to lift the 10km radius travel limit within the same district but interstate and inter-district travel are still prohibited in areas under the MCO, EMCO and CMCO.

“States under the MCO still have a restriction of two people travelling in a car while the other states have no restrictions on the number of people in a vehicle, based on its capacity,” he said this evening. – February 16, 2021.
