Are EMCO areas exempt from new travel relaxations?

Question

Accepted Answer

EMCO Areas Are Exempt from New Travel Relaxations

Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) areas are specifically excluded from the recently announced travel relaxations. This means that inter-state and inter-district movement will not be permitted within or to/from these designated EMCO zones, even as other restrictions are eased nationwide from December 7.
Travel Restrictions Remain in EMCO Zones

Despite the broader lifting of inter-state and inter-district travel restrictions across Malaysia from December 7, areas placed under Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) will continue to face these limitations. All other regions in the country, excluding EMCO zones, will see these travel restrictions removed.
Shift in Police Enforcement Focus

The cessation of police roadblocks nationwide, also effective December 7, signifies a strategic shift in enforcement. Instead of focusing on physical checkpoints, the police will redirect their efforts towards ensuring compliance with existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to curb the spread of Covid-19.
Normal Vehicle Passenger Capacity Restored

A significant relaxation involves the removal of previous passenger limits in vehicles. From December 7, vehicles will be permitted to carry passengers up to their normal seating capacity, a departure from earlier regulations that restricted the number of occupants.
Conditional Movement Control Order Extensions and Lifts

The Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) will be extended until December 20 in several key areas, including Kuala Lumpur, most of Selangor, and Sabah. Conversely, CMCO will be lifted on December 6 in locations such as Putrajaya, Labuan, Penang, Perak, Kelantan, and Negri Sembilan, with these areas reverting to Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) status.
