During the full lockdown, only essential services will be allowed to operate.
The upcoming lockdown will run until 14 June.
PM Muhyiddin said the rising number of deaths and presence of more transmissible variants were the primary driving forces behind the decision for the lockdown.
The announcement comes in the wake of Malaysia’s daily number of cases crossing the 8,000 mark earlier today.
