On Monday, eight parcels of residential areas surrounding the Selayang wholesale market were slapped with the EMCO to prevent further spreading of the novel coronavirus.However, hours after the order was announced, the government issued a last-minute order to shut the wholesale market as well, to make way for screening exercises and sanitisation works.
