The transmission of COVID-19 wave with a very sharp increase in cases on October 12, 2020, where the number of cases was detected increase drastically compare to the first wave of epidemic compilation. The Country of Sabah is a state that reports so many cases of daily infections that up to 600 active cases are detected every day and subsequently places the state of Sabah become a red zone. This might be due to a lack of knowledge among the community, especially after the state election. Therefore, the emphasis on knowledge level is an important aspect in curbing the transmission of COVID-19. Thus, this study was conducted to find out what is the level of knowledge about COVID-19 and the Movement Control Order (MCO) as well as to identify the relationship between these two variables in breaking the chain of COVID-19 transmission, especially among the ILKKM KK staff.

Analysis of instrument evaluation and sampling methods is also discussed in this study. The results showed that the patient's level of knowledge about COVID-19 was at a high level with a mean value = 3.902, SD = 0.423. However, the level of knowledge about MCO is at a moderate level with a mean value = 3.631, SD = 0.323. Meanwhile, correlation analysis showed there is a strong relationship between knowledge of COVID-19 and knowledge of MCO with correlation value r = 0.79, p> 0.05. Thus, the results of this analysis show that there is a strong relationship between the knowledge level of COVID-19 and MCO in deciding the chain of infection of COVID-19, especially among the ILKKM KK residents.

In recent years, the focus on the challenges regarding work from home (WFH) has been escalating throughout the globe. In the context of Malaysia, seeing that this is an emergent issue, there are still limited studies conducted on the framework or model that promote the effectiveness of WFH. However, there are fundamental issues that need to be addressed, namely; (i) the accessibility and coverage; (ii) the acceptance level among the staff and (iii) the quality of productivity. This study outlines two main objectives, which are (i) to examine the internal factors; and (ii) the external factors that influence the staff while WFH during MCO. Thus, there is an increasing need to recognise the benefits and potential challenges towards assisting the human resource practitioners to be more effective in implementing the WFH (Nordin et al., 2016). This study was conducted among the staff of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) during the Movement Control Order (MCO) from 18 March till 9 June 2020. Based on the survey conducted among 17,541 staff (as per 31 Mac 2020), 1,320 staff volunteered to be involved in this survey. The data was analysed using the SPSS v26. In part, the analysis was carried out to ascertain the main challenges comprising of internal and external factors. From the internal factor, the findings showed that flexible working hour was found as the main factor; mean value of 4.10. Furthermore, for the external factor, the factor on the distraction due to other commitments such as parent/child caretaker and house chores was found as the main factor; mean value of 3.82. The findings of this study significantly contribute towards understanding the internal and external factors of WFH, and serve to measure the productiveness and the effectiveness of WFH from the viewpoint of higher learning institutions.     Keywords: work from home, staff experience, internal factor, external factor, movement control order
