PUTRAJAYA: Families planning to get together for Hari Raya this month are allowed to do so only on the first day of the Islamic festival, the government has announced.
“Only 20 people are allowed, but it depends on the size of the house,” Senior Minister for Security Ismail Sabri Yaakob said during his daily Covid-19 crisis management media briefing here today. “Let’s say 600 sq ft, 20 people will be too many people and impossible for social distancing,” he added.However, he warned that even so, the risk of spreading Covid-19 within families remained.
He gave the example of a case in Bahrain, where a family of 16 attended a Ramadan iftar meal together and ended up contracting the virus.
