SOP: Partygoers must self-test for Covid-19 before going clubbing

 

Revellers looking for a night out dancing have to make Covid-19 test kits and the MySejahtera application part of their party gear.

New guidelines dropped by the Local Government and Housing Ministry today state that those going to nightclubs or pubs must perform a Covid-19 self-test within 24 hours before entry.

Alternatively, premises can conduct tests on patrons. Premises are responsible for ensuring their patrons are tested negative for Covid-19.

And unlike in most places now, partygoers must still check in using MySejahtera when they go to a nightclub or pub.

Once inside, partygoers will have to keep their masks on unless they're eating, drinking, or dancing.

Nightclubs are also allowed to fill up the entire dance floor.

The new guidelines will take effect this Saturday, May 14, meaning nightclubs and pubs can reopen a day earlier than previously announced.

Nightclubs had been the last item on the National Security Council's restricted list, up until the government began the transition to an endemic phase. - Mkini
