PETALING JAYA: With election fever building up in Melaka, the Health Ministry has issued a ban on political gatherings in the state from Oct 25 to Nov 27 over Covid-19 concerns.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin (pic) said that while there will be standard operating procedures (SOP) for the state election, it will only take effect during the campaigning period from Nov 8 and the ministry is concerned that there will be plenty of mass gatherings before that.
