Conditional MCO extended for another four weeks to June 9

(Yahoo News) – The movement control order (MCO) has been extended for another four weeks until June 9, says Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

He made the announcement in a live broadcast on Sunday (May 10).

This will be the fifth time that the government has decided to extend the MCO.

The MCO was first enforced on March 18 for a two-week period after a spike of Covid-19 cases in the country.

It was then extended in phases, each phase lasting two weeks.

The country is now in the fourth phase of the MCO, which will be in place until May 12.

However, on May 4, the government imposed the conditional MCO, which allowed almost all economic sectors to reopen.
