In recent times, the new crown epidemic in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor has been more serious, with most of the local cases coming from factories and construction sites.

            Since mid-October, the Malaysian government has implemented “conditional movement control orders” in Sabah, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and other places where the epidemic has worsened rapidly. Specific measures include restricting people’s cross-regional travel, closing schools and other places, but most Economic activities can still proceed as usual. As the epidemic spread, the scope of the control order was once expanded to most parts of the country. However, since December 7th, except for Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, Selangor and a few other regions, other regions in Malaysia no longer implement the control order.
