The EMCO involves around 6,000 residents in 365 residential and commercial units in the buildings. This order takes effect from 7 April 2020 until all residents are screened.

The purpose of the EMCO is to curb the spread of COVID-19. This would also enable the authorities to trace cases, unit by unit throughout the EMCO period.

With the execution of this order:

• All residents are prohibited from exiting the EMCO area throughout the duration of the EMCO. • All non-residents and visitors are prohibited from entering the area throughout the duration of the EMCO. • All business activities are to be closed, except for shops selling essential items in the buildings. • Residents are allowed to order food from delivery services, that should be delivered at the designated areas in the buildings. • A Medical Base will be set up in the EMCO area.

• All entry and exit points of the EMCO will be sealed. • To ensure the compliance of the EMCO, Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM), (ATM), Angkatan Pertahanan Awam (APM) and Jabatan Sukarelawan Malaysia (RELA) will administer the EMCO area.

For the smooth execution of the EMCO, all residents are advised to remain calm and to give their full cooperation to the officers from MOH and to comply with the authorities’ instructions.
