The government will implement the conditional motion control order in most states from November 9 to December 6, following a spike in Covid-19 cases.
Defense Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the order will be enforced in Kedah, Penang, Perak, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca, Johor and Terengganu.
He also said that the conditional MCO in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Selangor and the affected districts in Sabah will also be extended for another 28 days.
The only states not affected are Perlis, Pahang, Kelantan and Sarawak.
However, people in those states cannot travel to other states, but interdistrict travel is allowed.
For Sarawak, they are allowed to travel to any district within the state except Kuching.
In a related development, Ismail announced the improved MCO at Wisma Saberkas and Jalan Greenhill in Kuching starting tomorrow until November 21.
This followed the increase in Covid-19 cases there, leading to the existence of six groups.
Ismail said the restriction is to allow the Health Ministry to conduct targeted screening tests and reduce mobility in the community in an attempt to curb the Covid-19 outbreak.
In Perak, the government has decided to impose the improved MCO on the Maahad Al-Yahyawiah school in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, from tomorrow until November 21.
Meanwhile, the upgraded MCO at PPR Sri Balung and Taman Semarak in Tawau, Sabah will end tomorrow as scheduled.
