Several sub-districts in Selangor will be placed under an Enhanced MCO starting this Saturday until July 16th, due to a rise in COVID-19 cases.

All entry points in areas affected by the EMCO will be closed and monitored by police.

Only one member of each household will be allowed to travel within a 10km radius to buy essential items.
