KUALA LUMPUR – The government will implement inter-district controls throughout Sabah effective from 12.01am on October 3 (Saturday) until October 16, Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said. 

However, essential services such as the supply of food and medicine, security and others will still be allowed, he added. 

“During this period, those who have ended their quarantine are allowed to return to their respective districts or return to the peninsula, Sarawak and Labuan," he said in a statement on recovery movement control order (RMCO) developments, here today.

Ismail Sabri said the targeted enhanced movement control order (TEMCO) in four Sabah districts, namely, Tawau, Lahad Datu, Kunak and Semporna remains enforced. 

Further details will be relayed by the Sabah government through the State Disaster Management Committee, chaired by the state secretary. – Bernama, October 1, 2020
