Yes to MCO extension part 2

I was quoted by The Star yesterday. Yes, we should extend but also improve our MCO measures. If some areas are deem fit to be relaxed the MCO, it has to be carried out diligently (and practically) with much of the social distancing measures still in place.
//The movement control order (MCO) should be extended for at least another two weeks or until new daily cases drop below 50, say health experts.
Third World Network senior researcher Dr Lim Chee Han said although the MCO had helped and the number of cases had not grown exponentially, he had not seen improvement.
“The number of new cases has not gone down and the infection is still occurring in too many districts, even in the third week of the MCO.//
