Malaysians could see a possible extension of the movement control order (MCO) period, according to a report from The Star.

The number of infected cases within the country have still been rising, with the number hovering around 100 – 200 new reported cases daily.

Although a possible extension, a government source said that discussions to open up more economic activities to allow industries to operate are currently ongoing.

News company Bernama reported yesterday that the government could be announcing the status of the MCO to the nation “within the next 72 hours”, which is tomorrow.
