Abstract
The press release on Malaysia’s first case of COVID-19 infection was made on 25 January 2020 by the then Minister of Health, Datuk Seri Dzulkefly Ahmad. He confirmed the first case of 2019-nCov (now known as COVID-19) involving three Chinese citizens who had entered Malaysia via Johor from Singapore on 23 January 2020 (Pfordten and Razak Ahmad, 2020). The numbers kept rising and on 16 March 2020, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, announced a 14-day Movement Control Order (MCO) from 18 March 2020 to 31 March 2020 known as Phase 1. However, with no sign of the pandemic abating, the Prime Minister further extended the MCO from 1 April 2020 to 14 April 2020 known as Phase 2 (Bunyan, 2020). On 10 April 2020, the MCO was again extended from 15 April 2020 to 28 April 2020 known as Phase 3. Phase 4 of the MCO was from 29 April 2020 to 12 May 2020.
