CORONAVIRUS | Malaysia today shared its own experiences and knowledge in facing the Covid-19 pandemic with Asean member states during a Special Asean Summit on Covid-19 conducted via video teleconferencing.
Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin (above) said Malaysia had put in place several key strategies to address critical health, economic and social issues brought about by the pandemic, including the imposition of the movement control order (MCO).
Under the MCO, non-essential government and private sector services were ordered closed, mass movements and gatherings prohibited, and strong advice given for Malaysians to stay at home.
“Malaysia has also mandated all of its citizens returning from abroad to undergo compulsory quarantine for two weeks.
“As a stricter measure, we have also enforced enhanced MCOs in areas with a high infection rate. These areas are completely closed with no entry and exit for residents and visitors, and every individual in the area will be screened and treated if infected,” he said.
The special summit was chaired by Vietnam Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and joined by other Asean leaders.
