THE Malaysian Health Coalition (MHC) urges that decisions to lift the movement control order (MCO) must be made in stages and in strict coordination with all branches of government and the Health Ministry. We urge for the following to be considered.
1. Transition into risk-based conditional MCO: Some restrictions, such as physical distancing in public spaces, must continue. Guidelines for conduct in public areas should follow a risk-based colour-coded system of green, yellow and red zones. Specific criteria for what constitutes green, yellow and red zones must be developed by the Health Ministry and communicated to other ministries and the public. The guidelines must clearly state the permitted and prohibited activities for each risk level, including inter-zone travel. Criteria for transitions between risk levels must also be set.
