Malaysia's Covid-19 response which includes the movement control order (MCO) is the fourth strictest among South-East Asian countries as of Friday, according to the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government.

According to the Oxford Covid-19 Government Response Tracker, Malaysia is ranked fourth in Asean after Laos, Vietnam and the Philippines.

Malaysia’s measures – ranked as the 51st most strict among the 122 countries measured – is higher than some other countries, such as the United States , Britain and Australia . Other six measures gauged by the tracker include fiscal or monetary measures, investment in vaccines, Covid-19 testing framework and contact tracing measures.

Vietnam, which is ranked as one of the strictest in Asean, stepped up its social distancing measures from March 28. Laos scored a stringency index of 100, similar to Vietnam, ordered the temporary closure of preschools and kindergartens across the country on March 16. On March 29, a nationwide lockdown was enforced.

While Thailand scored a similar stringency index to Malaysia, suggesting comparable restriction measures, its"blanket travel ban" may be one of the policies which differentiates the two.
