Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin declared a nationwide movement control order, their third major shutdown, effectively sending the country into a lockdown.
It will start on 12 May and last until 7 June.
Tan Sri Muhyiddin said that the decision was made by the National Security Council during a meeting chaired by him earlier today (10 May).
He added that economic activities will continue throughout the country, but social activities, events, dining in at restaurant and inter-district/inter-state travel will all be banned.
Coss-state travel will be allowed only for work, emergencies and medical appointments, spousal visits and for vaccinations.
