Abstract : Objective: This study is to determine the pattern of Covid-19 infection in Malaysia throughout MCO and CMCO period and measuring the effectiveness of the MCO and CMCO implementation by the Malaysian government in controlling Covid-19 infection and death. Methods: Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS and Excel software through One-Way ANOVA. This analysis allows the researcher to investigate the phenomenon of Covid-19 from its beginning of movement control order (MCO) until conditional movement control order (CMCO). Results: From the result shown that there was a statistically significant difference between MCO and CMCO phase of the number of COVID-19 positive cases (F (5,78) = 18.834, p = 0.000), statistically significant difference between MCO and CMCO phase of the number of COVID-19 death cases (F (5,78) = 13.907, p = 0.000) and there was a statistically significant difference between MCO and CMCO phase of the number of COVID-19 recoveries cases (F (5,78) = 11.487, p = 0.000) as determined by one-way ANOVA. Conclusion: Using one-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc analysis, all variable shows significant different of controlling Covid-19 infection and death between MCO and CMCO period. Malaysia effectively manages to control the Covid-19 pandemic by the implementation of MCO and CMCO.
