After going dark for nearly three months, the country’s theatres, performing arts centres and live event spaces alongside cinemas will finally be allowed to reopen from July 1.

Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob made this announcement at his press conference today, stressing that only a maximum of 250 people will be allowed to be in these spaces, subject to the size of the hall.
