According to FMT, the government has decided to no longer impose the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) in Kedah, Melaka, Johor, and Terengganu starting 21 November.

Defence Minister, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said at his press conference today, that despite most states in Peninsular Malaysia being under the CMCO – some states have shown a decrease in cases and managed to get the Covid-19 situation under control.

However, the Kulim district in Kedah as well as the Mersing and Kota Tinggi districts in Johor will remain under CMCO, as the number of active cases there are still high.

Meanwhile, Kelantan will be under the CMCO starting 21 November until 6 December because of the rise in cases in several districts and subdistricts in the state. This will allow the Ministry of Health (MOH) to conduct testing and also reduce movement to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the state.

Ismail Sabri said the same CMCO SOPs such as restrictions on inter-district travel, inter-state travel and three passengers in one vehicle will apply to the state.
