The air that we breathe was at its cleanest during the conditional movement control order. But now, air quality has dipped, with the return of heavy traffic and industrial activities.

More businesses are reopening, shoppers are thronging malls and the public can now travel freely across states.

More sulphur dioxide was also detected in the air during the recovery movement control order in the Klang Valley, says the department. The good news is this, though: despite the increase in such gases, the air we breathe now is still cleaner in general, compared to the days before the MCO. “This was proven when there was an increase in air pollutants following the government’s decision to ease restrictions during the conditional MCO and recovery MCO, despite not all activities being fully allowed, ” the department explains.

During the conditional MCO, interstate travel was still banned unless the people had police permission to do so.
