KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 — The government through Phase One of Movement Control under the National Recovery Plan (PPN) will implement the enhanced movement control order (EMCO) in two localities in Sabah from June 29 to July 12.
Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the EMCO would be enforced in Kampung Nahaba Tegudon and Kampung Linau, Kota Belud following an increase in Covid-19 cases in the two localities.
He said nine positive cases were recorded as a result of 48 screening tests conducted in Kampung Nahaba Tegudon, while 11 positive cases were reported from 15 screenings carried out in Kampung Linau.
“The implementation of the EMCO is to facilitate the Ministry of Health (MOH) to conduct early detection of Covid-19 cases and prevent the spread of Covid-19 to the other localities,” he said in a statement today.
He said the EMCO in Kampung Penimbawan, Tuaran, Sabah, which was scheduled to end tomorrow, would be extended, from June 29 to July 12 due to the ongoing Covid- 19 infections among the residents and new cases were still recorded in the village. — Bernama
