KUALA LUMPUR: The movement control order (MCO), which was implemented from March 18 to control the spread of Covid-19, should be extended to and beyond the Hari Raya Aidilfitri season, says a medical group.

The Academy of Sciences of Malaysia said that the current MCO must continue beyond the current Phase 2 that will end on April 14.

The academy said that while it understands many wish to travel and spend time with their loved ones during Ramadan and Hari Raya, they need to take note of the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic has made it necessary for social distancing to be a new norm for at least a period of time until the situation is well under control, it added.

"We are cognisant that this pandemic has and will continue to have a major negative impact on all aspects of the economy, which is why robust whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches are needed, ” the academy said.

If death toll spike again, blame the government for not doing enough! 😬

Medical group salary jalan even MCO for 1 years. Please think of others. Not everyone get BSH, BPN, wage subsidy, tax rebate, etc.

Who is going to feed us? Government? For how long?

Should be extended

YES!!!

Agreed, Covid-19 infection in Msia is not under control yet, much as we dislike MCO, we have no choice but still HV to MCO, as the current state can explode to exponential cases n catastrophic..People must really discipline to STAY-at-HOME. MuhyiddinYassin chedetofficial
