The conditional movement control order (CMCO) for Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya as well as Sabah will be extended until Dec 6, said Senior Minister for Security Ismail Sabri Yaakob today.
The CMCO for the Klang Valley began on Oct 14 and was scheduled to end on Oct 27 but was extended to Nov 9 before today’s extension.
The latest extension is in line with the CMCO placed on six other states in Peninsular Malaysia announced today.
There has been an increasing number of cases in Selangor over the past month, with yesterday’s tally of 164 new cases leaving the state with 5,754 cases — second only to Sabah (which has a total of 19,282 cases).
Kuala Lumpur recorded 18 new cases yesterday and has a total of 3,136 cases, third behind Selangor. Putrajaya, meanwhile, detected nine new cases yesterday. It has a total of 171 cases.
“As we know, there is a difference between CMCO and enhanced movement control order (MCO). So, we have to look at the SOPs in detail,” said Ismail when asked if stricter restrictions would be placed on the state.
