EMCO can still be declared at areas with widespread Covid-19 infections until year end

PETALING JAYA: The government will still be able to impose an enhanced movement control order (EMCO) on any area with widespread Covid-19 infections until the end of the year under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act, if needed.

This is after the Federal Government gazetted an extension to orders issued under the Act from Aug 2 to Dec 31, 2021.
