CORONAVIRUS | The residential areas in the vicinity of the Kuala Lumpur wholesale market have been placed under the enhanced movement control order (MCO).
Barbed wires have been placed from the entrance of the wholesale market near the Batu Caves temple roundabout up to the Sri Murni apartments.
Police and soldiers were seen manning roadblocks at every junction, ordering scores of people who wanted to enter the area to head back home.
Armed Forces chief General Affendy Buang and his entourage left the area at about 1pm.
He is believed to have been there to monitor the situation and deployment of armed forces personnel at the location.
According to security personnel Malaysiakini interviewed, the location was put under an enhanced MCO since midnight.
It is believed that Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob would announce the latest enhanced MCO during a press conference in Putrajaya this afternoon.
