Non-Muslim places of worship in green zones can reopen from June 10

PUTRAJAYA: Non-Muslim houses of worship will be permitted to reopen on June 10 but only in the green zones, said Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

However, he said, they must comply with the standard operating procedures (SOP) including that the number of those present should not exceed 30 people and is subject to the size of the place of worship.

“If a house of worship is small and cannot accommodate 30 people, then the number of people attending should be less, people should not crowd together,” he told a press conference here today.

In addition, Ismail Sabri said, senior citizens 70 and above and children 12 and under are not permitted to attend.

Body temperature screening, the use of hand sanitisers and the wearing of face masks are also part of the SOP, he added. – May 21, 2020, Bernama
