The MCO is still being implemented with a sequence of MCO 1.0, MCO 2.0, and MCO 3.0. The MCO has a significant impact on Sabah, particularly on the tourism industry, which is the state's primary source of revenue. The Kundasang district in Sabah has also faced several economic issues, particularly among homestay entrepreneurs.
