#TTFCovid19: Early indicators suggest that the Movement Control Order (MCO, brought into effect by the Government of Malaysia (GoM), has succeeded in preventing a major spike in the number of Covid-19 cases nationwide.
This was according to Director-General of Health Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, who cited findings by the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research (MIER).
The MCO is currently entering its third week, with two major zones – one in Simpang Rengam, Johor, and another in Hulu Langat, Selangor – and a condominium unit in Kuala Lumpur put under enhanced restrictions.
The death to cases ratio today in Malaysia is a little less than a third of the world ratio, making Malaysia among the most effective nations worldwide in terms of its handling of the pandemic.
