MCO Variations Affecting Different States Across Malaysia

Effective February 19, dine-in services nationwide are permitted to seat more than two individuals per table, a policy change that applies universally across all states, irrespective of their current movement control order status. This adjustment also removes the previous cap on the number of passengers in a vehicle, provided the total adheres to the vehicle's designated capacity. These nationwide relaxations occur alongside varied extensions and impositions of movement control orders across different regions.
MCO Extensions in Specific Regions

Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor, and Penang will experience an extended Movement Control Order (MCO) until March 4. This continuation of the strictest form of movement restrictions means that these areas remain under the most significant limitations regarding public activities and inter-district travel. The MCO status for these four regions was originally set to conclude on February 19.
CMCO Implementation Across Most States

The majority of Malaysian states, excluding Perlis and Sarawak, will transition to Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) status from February 19 to March 4. This CMCO framework generally permits more economic and social activities than the MCO, though inter-state travel and certain other restrictions may still apply depending on specific directives. Sarawak, which is already under CMCO from February 15 to March 1, operates under a slightly different timeline for its current phase of restrictions.
Nationwide Relaxation Amidst Rising Fatalities

Despite the varied movement control orders, the national policy on dine-in services and vehicle passenger limits has been relaxed. This broader easing of restrictions is noteworthy as Malaysia recorded 25 Covid-19 related deaths on February 18, the highest single-day toll at that point, bringing the cumulative number of fatalities to 1,030. The daily case count on the same day was 2,712.
