KOTA KINABALU: Sabah will allow funerals and last rites at non-Muslim houses of worship and funeral parlours, with a 50% capacity, starting tomorrow, said state local government and housing minister Masidi Manjun.
He said the period of operation allowed was from 6am to 8pm daily, and it must not exceed two hours per session, in adherence to regulations under Phase 4 of the national recovery plan.
“However, the permission is only for fully vaccinated individuals.
“According to the SOPs, individuals or families who have yet to be fully vaccinated are prohibited from entering houses of worship, except for children aged 12 and below whose parents have been fully vaccinated,” he said in a statement here tonight.
On the development of daily Covid-19 cases in Sabah, Masidi said the number of cases for Sabah continued to decline, with 364 cases today compared with 405 reported yesterday.
“The percentage of new cases detected through symptomatic screening remains high at 38.2% of the total cases. Cases in this category are often associated with failure to comply with SOPs, especially while gathering or in public.
“It is hoped that the whole community takes into account the need to comply with all SOPs as Sabah is moving to Phase 4 beginning today,” he said. - FMT
