The EMCO is set for a duration from 3rd August until 30th August. These places will follow already set SOPs with the addition of roadblocks at every entrance-exit passageways while certain main roads will be closed off completely.

3. 7,000 screening tests will be conducted on residents staying in EMCO Kedah areas 

An estimate of about 7,000 residents staying in the EMCO Kedah areas will be screened and swab-tested to ensure early detection of Covid-19 to avoid the occurrence of possible developing clusters.

4. Citizens are required to wear face masks in public places except in these circumstances

On 1st August, it was made mandatory for all citizens to wear face masks in public transportation and crowded public places in which physical distancing could not be avoided. This includes public buses, MRT, LRT, KTM, wet markets, night markets, cinemas and tourist attractions.

However, it is not required when an individual is exercising, driving alone, or in his or her house. Masks also do not need to be worn by children aged two years and below.

5. Every premise is required to use MySejahtera
