MY SAY
The National Security Council (MKN) has confirmed via its Facebook Page that the enhanced movement control order implemented on the six districts in Perak will end on June 4.
The subdistricts are Pengkalan Hulu, Taiping, Hulu Kinta (Lahat, Chemor, Ipoh and Tanjung Rambutan) and Hulu Bernam Timur, together with Bagan Serai and Parit Buntar.
The Ministry of Health (KKM) acknowledged there is a drop in Covid-19 cases and cluster while positive cases have received treatment.
As for Ipoh, this is the first EMCO, for the people which started on May 22 until June 4, that carries strict rulings such as one person per car, no exercises and essential shops (including shopping malls) are only allowed to open.
Comparatively, FMCO (also known as Total Lockdown) which will kick off on June 5 until 14, in Ipoh will see a new set of rules including two persons per car, jogging allowed in neighbourhood areas, no photography and more businesses will be closed (shopping mall/factories/legal firm) unless there is a permit from Miti.
The reasoning is - whether EMCO or FMCO is a stricter rule or both are equally at par? So, how can we measure which rule is stricter than the other to enable the authority to implement EMCO or FMCO for areas badly affected by Covid-19?
Another issue - Perak has recorded between 250 – 385 cases per day since Day 1 of the EMCO, has the numbers gone down?
If then, why did MKN stated that there is a decreased in Covid-19 cases?
I doubt the cluster in Ipoh itself had dropped drastically with the emerging of Greentown Cluster and others.
That means to say Ipoh has improved when it comes to number of cases and cluster, thus a total lockdown is a better solution or how?
Grey areas and questionable??
