There was no other information furnished by SDMC on the number of Covid-19 cases in these affected areas.
EMCO is normally enforced to control the spread of Covid-19 in that particular area whereby the residents are not allowed to leave their homes for the 14-day period.
Active case detection (ACD) exercise and contact tracing would also be carried out. The affected residents would receive food basket distribution during this period.
On April 16, SDMC chairman and Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas told a press conference that EMCO would continue to be enforced at high risk areas in the state.
This was after he clarified that there would not be any MCO enforced in the state, but the Conditional MCO would continue from April 13 to 26.
