PETALING JAYA: Families paying homage to their dearly departed this coming Qing Ming festival have been urged to practise safety measures owing to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Malaysia Chinese Cemetery Association deputy president Lee Chun Kong said that visitors should start their tomb sweeping activities earlier without waiting for the actual day on April 4 to avoid the crowds.
