COVID-19 | The enhanced movement control order (MCO) scheduled to end tomorrow in Amber Court Apartment in Jalan Genting, Bentong has been extended to Jan 20.
Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the decision was made after the Health Ministry confirmed that some close contacts still need to undergo a second screening test and there was a high risk of infection in the locality.
"So far, 1,180 Covid-19 screening tests have been conducted and out of that number, 454 positive cases have been recorded," he told a press conference today.
Ismail said the government also agreed to extend the enhanced MCO at the Muar Rehabilitation Centre, Johor until Jan 20 based on the advice and risk assessment of the ministry.
“The Health Ministry has conducted 827 Covid-19 screenings and detected 40 positive cases. It also confirmed that there is still an increase in daily positive cases and there are 38 samples still awaiting results," he added.
