Businesses that involve large gatherings and close contacts, such as cinemas and Ramadan markets, will not be allowed to reopen, he said. Schools and universities will also remain closed. “On the advice of the health ministry and based on data collected and best practices established by the World Health Organisation, the government has decided to reopen economic sectors cautiously by enforcing strict health standard operating procedures,” Muhyiddin said.
Sports activities that involve 10 or less people, such as running, badminton and cycling, will be allowed.
