#KiniNews: RMCO extended to March 31 - Ismail Sabri
The government has extended the recovery movement control order (RMCO) until Mar 31, 2021, after the previous order lapsed at the end of 2020.
Senior Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said certain activities are still not allowed in recovery MCO areas, including those at pubs and nightclubs - except those operating as restaurants. Activities that involve large crowds where physical distancing is difficult are also barred.
Ismail said extending the recovery MCO was necessary due to the rise in Covid-19 cases - which he said was in part due to mass-screening of migrant workers, as well as community infections in the Klang Valley and other states.
