KUALA LUMPUR: The Special Committee on Covid-19 Pandemic Management which met today has agreed to allow resumption and reopening of more sectors starting Sept 17.
The easing of resrictions under strict compliance of the standard operating procedures (SOP) and for fully vaccinated people was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob in a statement today.
He said among the relaxation included activities under the social sector in states which have transitioned into Phase Two and Three of the National Recovery Plan (NRP).
"Physical contact sports and recreational activities involving the operation of outdoor and indoor sport facilities are allowed for people who have been fully vaccinated.
"The resumption of these activities and the reopening of these facilities are on appointment basis, and for premises which have been sanitised and will be done under strict monitoring of the operator (of the premises)," said Ismail Sabri.
Other social activities allowed in these states, he said, included football, volleyball, takraw and other forms of sports in full capacity, but limited to fully vaccinated people and carried out at premises with control and supervision.
"Fitness activities such as aerobics, zumba and other similar activities carried out in groups at the same locations/premises with under 50 per cent capacity, or not more than 50 people (whichever lower), for fully vaccinated people under the supervision of a coach or instructor, are allowed for these states," he said.
