Six districts in Selangor will be placed under a movement control order (MCO) for 12 days starting May 6, announced Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
The districts affected are Petaling, Hulu Langat, Gombak, Klang, Kuala Langat and Sepang which will be under the movement restriction from May 6 to May 17.
This came after the National Security Council (NSC) scrutinised a proposal brought by Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari and the Selangor NSC in a meeting today.
Interstate and interdistrict travel between these districts and outside these areas are not allowed except for work and emergency matters, Ismail said.
He added that economic activities are still allowed in these districts, while social activities are not permitted.
According to the senior minister, the decision came as these districts in Selangor saw a sharp increase in Covid-19 cases.
The remaining three districts - Kuala Selangor, Sabak Bernam and Ulu Selangor - will continue to be under the conditional MCO.
Kuala Lumpur is not affected by the latest MCO announcement.
