KOTA KINABALU: Four areas - three in Tawau and one in Kinabatangan - will be placed under the enhanced movement control order (EMCO) for 14 days starting April 3.
In Tawau, areas that are involved include Kg Ranggu Batu 10, Fasa 2 Taman Semarak, and Kg Baru Pasir Putih, said Local Government and Housing Datuk Masidi Manjun in his statement.
The Kilang Sungai Tenegang residential area in Kinabatangan will also be placed under EMCO after a drastic increase in Covid-19 cases were detected among the community within one week period.
"After a joint risk assessment with various agencies in the MCO Technical Committee and upon the advice of the Ministry of Health (MoH), the state government has agreed to implement EMCO in these areas starting April 3 to April 16.
"The EMCO will allow the health ministry to conduct a targeted screening of the residents in the localities to control the spread of the virus within the community," he said.
