The government had announced Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) in Sandakan, Papar and Tuaran in Sabah, and Mukim Klang in Selangor beginning 9 October to check the increasing number of COVID-19 yesterday (7 October).

Since it's been quite a few months since most of us have experienced CMCO, many were confused by what it means exactly, especially for those living in Klang and working outside of its borders.

Security Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, during his daily press conference shared some of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) that will be in place for the next two week in the areas where CMCO is being imposed.

Clearing up confusion over Klang CMCO?

When Ismail Sabri first announced CMCO in Klang, many were confused over which areas were affected.

Klang is divided into two Mukim - Kapar and Klang, but only Mukim Klang is considered a red zone with over 40 cases.

As such those living in Klang were quite confused.

If you're still not sure if you area is affected, you'll know soon enough when you start seeing policemen, the army and police blocks.

But if you live in the southern part of Klang, it's a pretty good bet that you're affected.

There is an exception for those working or living in Port Klang. The government has decided to allow business to be conducted as usual there as it's a busy business hub.

Things to keep in mind

Now that we're as clear as we could be about the areas affected, here are some details you need to know about the CMCO:

• Pasar Borong will be allowed to operate from 4 a.m to 2 p.m.
• Morning markets will be allowed to operate from 6a.m. to 2p.m.
• Pasar Tani will be allowed to operate from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.
• Night Markets are not allowed.
• Eateries can be open between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. but only for take away, drive-thru or delivery.
• Public transportation will be operational from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m. but only those with permission to leave the CMCO area such as frontliners and others deemed as "essential worker" will be allowed out.
• Only two members from a household are allowed to travel together but only to conduct essential tasks such as buying groceries.
• No sports, social and religious activities would be allowed.

The bottom line is, stay home and stay safe unless you absolutely have to go out.
