KOTA KINABALU: House-to-house visits in conjunction with Christmas and New Year celebrations will be allowed in Sabah, for all visitors with complete Covid-19 vaccinations.
Sabah local government and housing minister Masidi Manjun said the duration of each visit should not exceed three hours with 30-minute intervals for sanitisation work before the next visit.
Visitors are limited to 50% capacity of the house, while children under 12 are only allowed to visit with their parents who have completed their vaccinations.
Masidi, who is Sabah’s spokesman on Covid-19, said the head of the household must ensure that visitors conduct self-screenings, wear face masks except while eating and drinking and practise physical distancing of one metre.
“No religious or physical contact activities are allowed during visits,” he said in a statement.
Dec 24 and Dec 25 are state public holidays for Christmas celebrations this year.
Masidi said the state government has also set the SOP for Christmas celebrations at non-Muslim houses of worship, including operating periods of 7am till 11.30pm, and limiting worshippers to those with full vaccinations.
Prayers are limited to two hours with 30-minute intervals for sanitisation work before the next session, with attendance limited to 50% capacity and one-metre physical distancing.
“Management committee members and congregants with chronic illnesses are not permitted to attend, and attendees must bring their own prayer materials. Religious parades and ceremonies, along with physical contact activities are not permitted.
Masidi also said that Sabah recorded 237 new Covid-19 cases today, bringing the total cases in the state to 238,357, with 426 recoveries, for a total of 229,833 in the state, adding that 804 patients are still being treated. - FMT
