KUALA LUMPUR: While the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) at major locations in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur have not been extended, both will remain under Phase 1 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) for now.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said vaccination efforts were being expedited in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. So far, of the three main threshold indicators, both states have only achieved one —- vaccinating more than 10 per cent of its adult population.

"Cases are still high and usage of beds in Intensive Care Units (ICU) are still at a critical stage. The three threshold indicators must be met in order to transition to Phase 2.

"EMCO will be enforced at localities with a spike in Covid-19 cases," he said in a statement today.

So far, Perlis, Perak, Pahang, Kelantan, Terengganu, Penang and Sabah have moved to Phase 2 of the NRP. - NST
