Sabah govt announces 30% capacity attendance at non-Muslim religious houses for fully vaccinated


KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government on Sunday (Sept 19) announced further relaxation for fully vaccinated individuals, in particularly, attendance at non-Muslim religious houses.

Sabah Covid-19 spokesman Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said the attendance permitted is at 30% capacity of the non-Muslim religious houses, and only for those who completed their vaccination.

"The management committee of these religious houses must ensure attendees are only those who have been fully inoculated.

"The congregations are also not allowed to share praying paraphernalia with each other, and must bring their own," he said, adding that protocols like physical distancing are still in place.

Marriage blessings are also allowed in these institutions with the same 30% capacity of the respective premises.

He reminded that only packed food to bring home is allowed, and those who are sick or symptomatic should not visit the premises.
