However, the standard operating procedures (SOP) of the EMCO enforced in Selangor and KL are different.

While several districts and sub-districts in the state of Selangor have been placed under total lockdowns, enforcement of the EMCO in KL are focused around certain localities across the city.

KL Police Chief Datuk Azmi Abu Kassim advised the public not to be confused by the contrasting colour-coordinated guidelines that are in place.

For your convenience, TRP took the liberty of translating the official Selangor EMCO SOP released by the National Security Council (MKN) that came into effect on 3 July and later updated on the 4th.
