"Movement in and out of the areas under CMCO is strictly prohibited. 

"Only essential services, including factories and chains related to necessary services are allowed. The Ministry of International Trade and Industry(MITI) will provide a list of services that will be needed in the affected areas,” he said. 

With the number of cases in Sabah rising by the day, Ismail Sabri said that the implementation of the CMCO is to prevent more infections and transmissions of Covid-19 in the area, as well as to help with targeted tracking of cases.
