Members of the public should continue to adhere to the Movement Control Order (MCO) to ensure its objective to break the chain of the COVID-19 infection is achieved.

Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the MCO has begun to show results with the drop in the number of positive cases for the past two days.

“Therefore, people should continue to help the government as we aim to register zero positive cases of COVID-19,” he told a news conference after chairing the Special Ministerial Committee on MCO here today.

Ismail Sabri also expressed his gratitude to health frontliners following positive development in the outbreak of late where recovered patients have consistently surpassed the number of new cases.

However, he reminded people not to drop their guard as the pandemic has yet to end.

“Do not violate the MCO because we are not out of the woods yet.

“Inspector-General of Police (Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador) has warned that if people continue to violate the MCO, we might have to extend it again,” he said.
