The measures started with entry restriction of selective foreign nationals into Malaysia, as well as self-quarantine of Malaysian and non-Malaysian citizens returning from Covid-19 hotspots, and culminated with the passing and execution of the Movement Control Order (MCO) (Immigration Department of Malaysia 2020; Ministry of Health 2020; Prime Minister's Office of Malaysia 2020a). The notable decrease of daily new Covid-19 cases after 14 April (Fig. 1) can very likely be attributed to improved compliance to the MCO through more stringent enforcement, in addition to continuous medical screening and tracking of suspected contacts with the Covid-19 infected individuals.	./cache/cord-302214-ubepkkto.txt	./txt/cord-302214-ubepkkto.txt
