---

 


The government today announced that several parts of the Klang Valley will be put under an enhanced movement control order (MCO).
Conventionally, an enhanced MCO puts a blanket ban on all movements, confining residents to their homes.
However, the just-announced enhanced MCO for parts of the Klang Valley will be slightly more lenient.
A total of 34 sub-districts in Selangor including Cheras, Kajang, Sepang, Rawang, and Klang are affected as well as 14 localities in Kuala Lumpur. The full list of affected areas is available here.
The enhanced MCO will take effect on Saturday (July 3) and last until July 16.
Here's what you can and cannot do, as well as what to expect when the enhanced MCO comes into effect:
1. All routes in and out of affected areas will be sealed and guarded by the police.
2. All residents must stay at home but one representative per household will be allowed out to purchase essential goods.
3. This family member may not travel beyond a 10km radius or leave the enhanced MCO area, whichever is shorter.
4. An exemption will be made for those going for vaccination to travel across districts or states. They must show proof of their appointments.
