PETALING JAYA: A stricter movement control order is possibly on the cards to bring down the number of the Covid-19 cases to a controllable level, say government sources.

The MCO would likely be for a month from next week, sources told The Star.

“Since this period will include the opening of schools for the new year (Jan 20) as well as Chinese New Year (Feb 12), this is an important announcement which will be made by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday.
