PM: MCO may be extended

(Reuters) – Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said on Monday that the government may consider extending the Movement Control Order (MCO) by up to two weeks; and will announce more economic stimulus to soften the blow from the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak and weak oil prices.

In a press conference, Muhyiddin said the National Security Council will meet on March 30 to decide on what to do after the current curbs on movement and businesses expire at the end of the month.

The government is also expected to unveil an expanded stimulus package on the same day, Muhyiddin said.
