Malaysia extends coronavirus movement curbs until end-2020

Malaysia will continue with certain movement control restrictions to contain the spread of the coronavirus until Dec. 31, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said on Friday.

In a televised address, Muhyiddin said while the Southeast Asian nation had the virus under control, the spread of the virus globally meant “it will be a long time before our country is free from the dangers of COVID-19.”.

The economy has shown positive signs of recovery, he added.
