"Since last Saturday, only one compound was issued by the Kuala Lumpur police under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342), namely against a 30-year-old man who had come from Penang without an interstate travel permit,” he said.

Speaking to reporters when met at the roadblock here today, Mazlan said the number of road users in the capital was expected to increase after the Aidilfitri holidays.

Meanwhile, he said 189 teams had been set up to monitor public compliance with the CMCO since Saturday, with 206 compounds issued against those violating the order such as failing to maintain social distancing and visiting family members after the first day of Aidilfitri.

"The teams will be conducting patrols and monitoring throughout Kuala Lumpur in places such as shopping malls and residential areas. Those who disobey the CMCO will be issued with compounds, "he said. — Bernama
