JOHOR BARU: The state government’s decision to allow non-Muslim houses of worship in Johor to reopen starting July 1 has been greeted with relief, though some are still proceeding with caution.

Apart from making sure the premises abide by the standard operating procedures (SOP) outlined by the state and Federal government, some temple managements are also taking extra measures by providing reader-friendly information on Covid-19 at the entrance.
