Selangor Mansion was placed under an Enhanced movement control order (EMCO) last week after 15 cases were detected in the vicinity as of April 6.

The enforcement of the EMCO at the two buildings involves 365 residential units comprising 5,000 residents.

At the same time, the police had also received a report lodged against some residents at the Selangor Mansion for allegedly throwing items such as bottles, garbage bags and flower pots at Malaysian Armed Forces personnel installing concertina wires in the area.
