PUTRAJAYA, April 9 — The enhanced movement control order (EMCO) imposed in Simpang Renggam, Johor which should have ended today has been extended until April 14.
Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said this decision was made at the special ministerial meeting on the movement control order (MCO) today.
“We agreed to extend it to four more days to resolve several issues in which action is still being taken,” he told reporters at the daily MCO press conference here.
Simpang Renggam was the first location in the country where the EMCO was imposed on March 27 after 61 residents were found to be positive for Covid-19.
Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri said the government will discuss the new standard operating procedure for the MCO in red, yellow and green zones tomorrow.
He said the details were being worked out by the National Security Council (MKN) together with the Health Ministry and other relevant agencies.
