What does EMCO mean in Authorities?

Enhanced Movement Control Order | Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Diperketatkan (PKPD) updated by Johnny Neoh

EMCO is the strictest movement control order, and is akin to a ’total lockdown’ to lock down specific localities that have been identified as high risk. All activities are ceased during the implementation of the order, and no movement in and out of the EMCO areas are allowed during the EMCO period. Residents at the affected EMCO areas are not allowed to leave their homes, except for emergency purposes, and food items will be sent to them by the respective authorities. All residents within the EMCO are also subjected to compulsory COVID-19 testing by the government. In April 2020, EMCO was imposed in Simpang Renggam, a district in Johor where an infection cluster had affected hundreds of confirmed COVID-19 cases.
