According to the Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, if there is a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases in our country and the Movement Control Order (MCO) needs to be re-implemented, it will have a huge impact on the economy.

He explained that the closure of the economic sectors will cause the country to lose RM2 billion a day and cause many people to lose their jobs.

“If there is a sudden increase in the COVID-19 case and it requires the government to re-enforce the MCO, the impact on the economy will be huge,” said the Prime Minister.

“The closure of the economic sectors can cause the country to lose at least RM2 billion a day and directly cause the loss of sources of income for millions of workers in Malaysia,” he added in a press conference.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, Khairy Jamaluddin also said on his Twitter, what can be concluded in the essence of the Prime Minister’s speech is that the people must not underestimate it easily because the threat of COVID-19 still exists in our country.

According to him, stricter measures will be introduced by the government if the infection continues to increase and its effects will severely affect the country’s economy.
