The enhanced MCO will begin on 5 April to 18 April 2021. The lockdown is to monitor the movement of the inhabitants so that the virus will not spread from the residential colleges to the community.

Besides, following an increase of Covid-19 cases in Kampung Pagalungan Ansip in Keningau and Kampung Kalindukan in Nabawan, enhanced MCO will be implemented in these two villages starting 5 April midnight until 18 April 2021.

The MCO in the Keningau district will also be extended until 18 April 2021.
