Authorities have ordered a lockdown of the Menara City One building near Jalan Masjid India in Kuala Lumpur after 17 Covid-19 cases originated from the condominium.

Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the building, located at Jalan Munshi Abdullah, will come under the enhanced movement control (EMCO), which means stricter curbs on residents’ movement, for the next two weeks.

This is the third area declared as coming under the EMCO after Simpang Renggam in Johor and Sungai Lui in Selangor.
