KOTA KINABALU: Taman Public in Kota Kinabalu will be placed under the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) from July 2 to July 15.
Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the implementation of the EMCO is to restrict movement and transmission of infections from areas at risk, thus ensuring that residents at risk of infection remained in the areas.
Ismail Sabri also said the EMCO in Kampung Landung Ayang, Kudat, which is scheduled to end today (July 1), had been extended from July 2-15.
This is after the Ministry of Health(MOH) found that there was still continuous infections within the community as well as new cases being recorded at the locality.
He also announced that the EMCO at four localities in Sabah would end today, as scheduled.
They are Kampung Bukit Gemuk and Kampung Tanjung Batu Keramat in Tawau; Perumahan Etara in Jalan Agaseh, Lahad Datu; as well as Taman Lavender in Kudat.
“The decision to end the EMCO in all these localities was made after the MOH confirmed a downward trend in cases and the clusters being under control,” he said in a statement on Wednesday.
