This is in view of the rise in Covid-19 cases in the federal territory recently.
In a press conference, he said the CMCO SOP will be similar to that applied for Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, with all economic activities allowed to operate although religious, cultural and social sectors are to be closed.
All schools, higher education institutions, training institutes, kindergartens, childcare centres, public parks and recreational centres will be closed, while only two members of a household may leave the house to buy necessities.
Water transportation, such as ferries and speedboats, will be allowed to operate until 6pm only with limited capacity to allow for physical distancing.
Similarly, water taxis will only be allowed to operate from 6am to 6pm.
The signing-on and signing-off process for ship crew members will follow the current SOP, although those coming from Sabah to Labuan will be required to be quarantined for 14 days after signing off.
Restaurants, shops, food stalls, food-trucks, roadside stalls, food courts, hawker centres, sundry shops and convenience stores are all allowed to operate, but from 6am to 10pm only.
Dine-in customers are allowed at a maximum of two per table, or four for big tables, although the public is encouraged to use the drive-through, delivery or takeaway options to get their meals.
For those in Kuala Lumpur, Ismail clarified that they will not need to produce any letters or documents when moving around the different districts in the city. They will only need to do so when they leave Kuala Lumpur.
He also urged employers in red zones in Selangor to allow their employees to work from home during the CMCO, saying this would be safer for them and the community.
On action taken against those breaching the RMCO, Ismail said 390 people were arrested by police yesterday, with 386 of them fined and four remanded.
The authorities also detained 23 undocumented migrants and three smugglers yesterday as part of the ongoing Ops Benteng campaign. They also confiscated five land vehicles and five boats.
