Following the reduction of COVID-19 infection cases in several states, the government today decided to end the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) in most&nbsp;states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the move was done after considering the current and expected impact on the economic recovery&nbsp;if CMCO is extended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe country is expected to suffer a GDP loss of RM300 million a day if CMCO is continued\u00a0and this will result in a decline in the labour\u00a0market and\u00a0household spending, investment uncertainty, permanent job loss, business closure, and other effects either directly or indirectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Therefore, the government needs to consider all aspects in formulating any approach to create a balance between maintaining public health and impact on the economy,&#8221;
