PETALING JAYA: General standard operating procedures (SOPs) for Chinese New Year have been drawn up, but these will likely be tweaked to take into account varying conditions on the ground, says Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri.

The basic SOPs that the National Security Council (NSC) has come up with would likely see a cap of 20 people being allowed at reunion dinners and no interstate travel, said sources.
