KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Under the conditional movement control order (MCO), people are no longer allowed to continue the tradition of Aidilfitri visits on Monday, the second day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
As part of the move to curb the spread of Covid-19, the government only allowed visits on the first day of Hari Raya, on condition that the standard operating procedure was observed, including limiting visitors to 20 people, practising social distancing and maintaining hygiene.
Mosques, surau and graveyards which most Muslims thronged on the first day of Syawal each year, were quiet and devoid of people following the ban imposed in most states. Visits would have put people at risk, especially the vulnerable groups comprising the elderly, those suffering chronic diseases and children.
Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob reminded people several times to avoid meeting others even though some leeway had been given for the celebrations as there had been cases in other countries of Covid-19 infections arising from social visits, giving the examples of incidents in Bahrain and New Jersey, United States.
