MCO Phase 4 from April 29 to May 12
The Movement Control Order (MCO), currently in its third phase, has been extended by another two weeks until May 12.
This was announced by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in a special televised broadcast today.
Muhyddin also did not rule out the possibility of another extension beyond May 12, subject to how the situation develops.
"During this period, the government will study the latest data from the Health Ministry to determine the next steps.
"I do not discount the possibility that the MCO may be extended beyond May 12, therefore you may not be able to celebrate Hari Raya in your kampung," he said.
Muhyiddin added that if cases continue to show a downward trend, the government may slightly relax MCO regulations in stages to include several sectors including the social sector.
He also said the government will also allow university students in hostels to return home.
The process to facilitate the movement of some 100,000 students, he added, will be done on the advice of the Health Ministry.
Before they are allowed to go home, all students must be healthy and do not display any Covid-19 symptoms.
"The government may consider a one-time journey for Malaysians who have gone back to their hometowns before the MCO was enforced, to return to their homes.
"As this would involve a big number of people, the government is gathering data and studying the best methods to allow this movement."
Muhyiddin said those who needed to do so would need to register online or make an appointment at the nearest police station.
The MCO was implemented by the government on March 18 as a measure to contain the Covid-19 outbreak.
On March 25, Muhyiddin announced that the first phase of the MCO, which ended on March 31, would immediately be succeeded by a second phase, lasting until April 14.
A third phase was then announced from April 15 to April 28.

Taxis and e-hailing vehicles to operate from 6am to 10pm
Taxi, e-hailing and delivery services will only be allowed to be on the road for specific hours daily from today during the extended movement control order (MCO), says the Transport Ministry.
“From April 1 onwards, during the MCO, taxis and e-hailing vehicles are allowed to operate from 6am to 10pm.
“Delivery services are allowed to operate between 8am and 8pm, ” the ministry said in a statement yesterday.
The ministry is encouraging logistics and transportation companies involved with delivering essential goods to do so between 7pm and 7am, the most unhindered movement during the extended MCO.
It said operational hours under the MCO for stage buses, express buses, trains and their terminals continue to be limited to 6am to 10am and 5pm to 10pm as announced previously.
The statement said the restriction, covering the two-week extended MCO period, was necessary in line with the government’s efforts to reduce the spread of Covid-19 infections and put the country on the path to full recovery.
“Several difficult decisions had to be made under the second phase of the MCO from April 1-14.
“For measures related to public transportation, they are aimed to further reduce person-to-person contact on buses, rail services, taxis and in e-hailing services, and break potential chains of infection on these modes of transportation, ” the statement added.
The ministry reminded passengers to adhere to regulations and social distancing practices, including reducing crowding while using public transportation during the extended MCO period.
