Malaysia expands the scope of the ban and the country enters a state of emergency

Thai Net reported that on January 12, according to multiple Thai media reports, in order to curb the spread of the epidemic in Malaysia, the king officially declared Malaysia a state of emergency. It is reported that the state of emergency in Malaysia will last until August 1.

            On Monday, Prime Minister Muhyiddin of Malaysia announced the implementation of a movement control order. From January 13 to 26, the five states of Sabah, Selangor, Penang, Johor, Malacca and the three federal direct states of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan will be implemented. The jurisdiction implements the strictest movement control order. Due to the high number of newly confirmed cases in a single day, Malaysia’s medical system is on the verge of collapse.

           It is understood that the number of newly confirmed cases in a single day in Malaysia last week hit a record high, exceeding 3,000 for the first time. As of the 11th, Malaysia had a total of 138,000 confirmed cases and 555 deaths.

On January 19, Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin (former) inspected the COVID-19 isolation treatment center located at the Serdang Agricultural Exhibition Hall near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In view of the continuous increase in new confirmed cases of new crowns in some states in Malaysia that have not implemented strict epidemic prevention and control measures, the Malaysian government announced on the 19th that it will expand the scope of the “movement control order” to most parts of the country.
