Choir performances at church in conjunction with Christmas are allowed on the condition those involved practise physical distancing of at least 1m and wear face masks or face shields.
The National Unity Ministry, in a statement today, said this is part of the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the Christmas celebration on Dec 24 and 25.
National Unity Minister Halimah Mohamed Sadique said the SOP was approved at the Covid-19 Quartet Ministers meeting today.
The ministry, in the statement, said prayer ceremonies are allowed according to the SOP for Opening of Non-Muslim Houses of Worship under the National Recovery Plan.
Apart from this, only those who have been fully vaccinated are allowed to make family visits during Christmas.
House-to-house carolling is prohibited while stalls for Christmas Day sales can be set up subject to the approval of local authorities.
Halimah urged Christians to celebrate Christmas under the new normal by always observing the SOP, including wearing face masks and practising physical distancing, to help break the Covid-19 chain of infection in Malaysia.
