PETALING JAYA: The enhanced movement control order (EMCO) announced in parts of Selangor and certain areas in Kuala Lumpur has shown that the government has failed to obtain granular data on where active cases are located.

Former deputy health minister Dr Lee Boon Chye said after four weeks of a total lockdown, cases should have gone down since the public had been forbidden from traveling more than 10km except to buy daily essentials.

Lee said the government should not punish ordinary people when it was obvious that workplaces had not complied with the SOPs.

“For example, in Selangor, most clusters are from factories. Why is it so? It’s because they are not following the SOPs,” the Gopeng MP said.

He added that hospitals ran the greatest risk of where clusters could form, however, that did not seem to be the case.
