He clarified that Kuala Lumpur residents are free to travel within the capital city as it is considered as a single district.
Ismail said there were many queries over boundaries under the implementation of the CMCO in the Klang Valley.

Ismail Sabri said to prevent the spread of the virus in red zones employers should allow their workers to work from home.
He said Labuan will be placed under a conditional movement control order (CMCO) from Oct 17 to 30 in an effort to curb the spread of the Covid-19 infections.

He said SOPs pertaining to the previous movement control order (MCO) will be maintained.
“The public living in CMCO areas need not worry about to buying goods, don’t resort to panic buying,“ he said.
Ismail said business premises are operating as normal.
