KUALA LUMPUR (Sin Chew Daily/ANN): A week into Movement Control Order (MCO) 2.0 and no improvement has been seen in the daily new infection numbers. For the past one week, daily new infections remain in the 3,000-4,000 bracket with fast rising active cases.

This points to the fact that the virus is very much in our midst and no one should ever take it for granted. Owing to the worsening situation, the government has declared a nationwide MCO with the only exception of Sarawak.
