KUCHING: The Sarawak government has decided to implement the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) throughout the state for 14 days starting this Monday until Jan 31.
Sarawak State Disaster Management Committee chairman Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said the decision was made following the increase in positive Covid-19 cases in the state over the past few days.
He said the CMCO directive applies to all parts of Sarawak except Sibu which is currently under the Movement Control Order (MCO) from today until Jan 29.
"The standard operating procedure (SOP) for the CMCO will be disclosed to the public tomorrow" he said at a Covid-19 daily press conference here today.
Previously, Sarawak was placed under the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) following an announcement by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Jan 11.
Today, Sarawak recorded 69 new cases bringing the total number of Covid-19 cases in the state to 2,049. -- Bernama
