On May 10, Muhyiddin announced the implementation of MCO 3.0 nationwide effective May 12 to June 7 in an effort to curb the growing spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special session today also involved the participation of state governments for feedback on the current situation in their respective states as well as their views on efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the statement, standard operating procedures (SOPs) for MCO 3.0 have been tightened including imposing inter-state and inter-district travel bans, restrictions on social, sports and recreational activities as well as face-to-face conferences and meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNevertheless, increased (COVID-19) transmissions in the community and the existence of more aggressive new variants with high infectivity rates have caused efforts to flatten the infection curve to take a longer time,\u201d the statement read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
