Malaysia has extended its nationwide lockdown, via so-called movement control orders (MCO), beyond June 28, as a countermeasure against the spread of Covid-19 infection in the country.
The Resorts World Genting casino (pictured) complex, the sole casino resort in Malaysia, temporarily closed its casino from May 24, until further notice, because of a movement control order. The property’s promoter subsequently announced on May 31 that the whole of the Resorts World Genting complex was to be temporarily shut, a decision that followed “the government’s announcement on the national total lockdown”.
The movement control orders will stay until Malaysia’s daily-infection tally falls below 4,000, the nation’s Prime Minister said, as cited by Bernama on Sunday.
The country’s Senior Minister for Defence, Ismail Sabri Yaakob, also stated that the current phase of the movement control orders would remain until the country achieved three things. They were, respectively, that the number of daily Covid-19 cases drops to below 4,000; the rate of bed usage in intensive care units is at a “moderate” level; and 10 percent of the country’s population has received two doses of Covid-19 vaccine, Bernama reported citing the minister.
