DESPITE calls for a total country lockdown to deal with the increasing Covid-19 cases in Malaysia, the current administration decided to tighten only the third movement control order (MCO 3.0) standard operating procedures (SOP) effective May 25.
However, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced a full MCO (FMCO) equivalent to the MCO 1.0 that was announced nationwide in 2020, from June 1 to 14 as the daily infection of 9,020 Covid-19 cases was recorded on Saturday (May 29).
“Only essential economic and service sectors listed by the National Security Council (NSC) will be allowed to operate during FMCO,” he added.
