TEMCO to be enforced in Kota Setar, Kedah

Sep 10, 2020

Kedah's Kota Setar district will be placed under a Targeted Enhanced MCO, following a rise in COVID-19 cases. 

Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob says it will start from midnight tonight until September 25th. 

He says just like previous TEMCOs, only essential businesses will be allowed to operate.

Meanwhile, Datuk Seri Ismail says the TEMCO placed at Amanjaya, Kedah will be extended for another three days. 

This, as the Health Ministry has yet to complete COVID-19 testing among its residents.
