Following the spread of the COVID-19 case at the Tongkang Yard Flats (Seberang Perak), the government has agreed to extend the Targeted Enhanced Movement Control Order (TEMCO) until October 7, 2020.
Previously, the government informed that the implementation of the Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) in Kota Setar District which started on September 11 will be ended today, September 25, 2020.
As of September 24, 2020, the risk assessment conducted by MOH members found that there are still risky locations in the Tongkang Yard flat involving 5 houses.
Through a media statement by Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob on the official Facebook page of the Malaysian National Security Council, TEMCO will continue to be imposed at the Tongkang Yard flat until 7 October 2020.
The extension helped the MOH to conduct a second screening of the residents in the flat.
Also closed is the Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Korok Lama which starts from September 26 to October 9, 2020.
In this regard, the PDRM and ATM will make movement control at the location to ensure the surrounding residents comply with the SOP and Quarantine Order at home.
