Kuala Lumpur â Malaysia re-applied the Movement Control Order (MCO) from January 13 to 26 in various locations as the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) was no longer effective, said Noor Hisham, a high-ranking official of the Malaysian Ministry of Health.
During a regular press conference on COVID-19 held on January 13, Hisham said that the MCO will last for four weeks at most.
He added that the CMCO was introduced in last October, but now a more drastic approach has to be taken to break the infection chain of the disease.
