KUCHING: The Sarawak government agreed to comply with the extension of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) for another four weeks until June 9, as announced today by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, the State Committee on Disaster Management.
He said in a statement that for economic sectors that may reopen on May 12, the guidelines provided above will apply until June 9.
The committee also said it has directed all residents to improve and strengthen monitoring and enforcement in all economic sectors to reopen on May 12.
“The CMCO Compliance Monitoring Team meetings were held in the respective divisions led by the police and comprised all enforcement agencies such as local authorities, the Civil Defense Force (APM) and the People’s Volunteer Corps (Rela) “he said.
Muhyiddin, in a special televised speech today, said the decision to extend the CMCO was made on the advice of the Ministry of Health and the National Security Council.
Although the country has managed to reduce the number of Covid-19 cases, he said that many Malays had given their opinion on measures to stem the spread of Covid-19 to continue.
The first phase of the MCO was first introduced from March 18 to 31 to break the chain of Covid-19 infection.
It then extended to its second and third phase from April 1 to 14 and April 15 to 28, respectively, followed by the fourth phase from April 29 to May 12.
The CMCO, which allowed the opening of many economic sectors, was implemented from May 4, although Sarawak only allows the reopening of these sectors from May 12.
