State Health, Welfare, Women Empowerment and Family Committee chairman, Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud said the state government adopted the new SOP issued by the Ministry of National Unity with additional guidelines.“However, those who are 60 years old and above and healthy are allowed to attend religious activities in the houses of worship,” she told a press conference here today.
Dr Siti Mariah said, at this time, children under 12 years old were still not allowed to attend any of the houses of worship in Selangor. She said the managements of the houses of worship should also ensure the maximum capacity allowed at any one time was one-third of the area of the houses of worship, taking into account the social distancing of 1.5 metres per person.
