EMCO Malaysia KL & Selangor 2021
Attention all residents of Klang Valley, this is about the latest update of enhanced movement control order (EMCO) in Malaysia. Since the current implementation of the first phase of the national recovery plan has not been effective, the number of confirmed cases on July 1 today has risen to 6,988! As the number of cases in Selangor is still in a critical stage, Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said such a move is needed given the rise in Covid-19 cases. EMCO will be implemented in 48 areas in Selangor and KL for total of two weeks. With the implementation of the EMCO, all roads in the areas affected will be closed and guarded by the police.
