Malaysia government extends the Movement Control Order to April 14
Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced the government has extended the Movement Control Order (MCO) to April 14 from March 31 previously, in a special address broadcast live on national television at 1 pm on March 25. He was briefed by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and National Security Council (NSC) that the trend shows that new cases of Covid-19 positive continue to emerge. This trend is expected to remain for a while before new cases start to decline.
Muhyiddin also said that the government will continue to review the MCO period from time to time and may announce another extension, if necessary.
He is urging the public to “stay calm and don’t panic”, as he assured that food supply will remain sufficient during the partial lockdown period.
