‘Extension depends on facts’


PUTRAJAYA: Any further extension of the movement control order (MCO) will depend on Covid-19 data in the country by April 10, says Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The Health Ministry director-general said he could not predict what would happen but any decision would be based on science and facts.“We hope that by April 10, the data is available for us to make a decision on whether we need to extend or not,” he said during a press conference yesterday.
