However, essential services such as supply needs food, medical, safety are exempted from the travel ban.

The Senior Minister says that those whose mandatory quarantine ends during this period are allowed to return to their respective districts or to the Peninsula, Sarawak and Labuan.

The Targeted Enhanced Movement Control Order (TEMCO) currently in place in four Sabah districts – Tawau, Lahad Datu, Kunak and Semporna- remains in force.
