Administrative EMCO In Kota Setar, Kedah & Tawau Prison, Sabah Begins 11 September 2020

“Individuals who need to work are not allowed to leave the area during the administrative EMCO, and those from outside are also not allowed to come to work in the area. So, I hope employers will not take action if any of their workers could not come to work because they reside in the affected areas and allow their employees to work from home,” he added.

He also announced that the administrative EMCO in Amanjaya, Kedah, would be extended until 13 September as the Ministry of Health has yet to receive all the lab results from the second testing.

Although eateries and convenience stores can now operate until 2am, restaurants and eateries in areas with EMCO imposed can only serve takeout food from 8am to 8pm.

“Pharmacies can also operate until 8pm while clinics and hospitals are allowed to open 24 hours. For petrol stations and grocery shops, the operating hours are from 8am to 8pm while daily markets are from 6am to 2pm,” he added.

All sporting, social and recreational activities are not allowed, and only one family representative would be permitted to leave the house every day to buy food or necessities while vehicles carrying essential goods will be allowed to go in and out but need to seek permission from PDRM first.

Whoever involved in emergency cases such as illness and deaths are allowed to leave, but permission from the authorities is needed.

As of 10 September 2020, 5pm, there is a total of 45 new Covid-19 cases and zero new deaths in Malaysia, according to the Ministry of Health.
