Enhanced movement control orders (MCOs) will be implemented in several sub-districts and localities in Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Perak, Sabah, and Sarawak from May 22 until June 4.
Senior Minister (Security) Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the areas were placed under enhanced MCOs due to a surge in Covid-19 cases and a high infectivity rate.
“The Ministry of Health (MOH) today reported a sharp increase in Covid-19 cases in 15 sub-districts in the Besut district of Terengganu involving Kampung Raja, Keluang, Lubuk Kawah, Bukit Kenak, Pelagat, Jabi, Tembila, Kerandang, Bukit Puteri, Pengkalan Nangka, Kuala Besut, Pasir Akar, Kubang Bemban, Tenang, and Hulu Besut.
“The MOH has confirmed that nine of the 17 active clusters in Terengganu involve the Besut district which has contributed to the increase in Covid-19 cases in the state with high infectivity rates in the community," he said in a statement today.
As for the enhanced MCO in Pahang, Ismail said it involves Rumah Banjir Kuala Teh in Jerantut after the MOH also reported a sharp increase in cases there.
