Johor polls: Health Ministry proposes to EC that speakers at ceramah can remove face masks

PONTIAN: The Health Ministry (MOH) has recommended to the Election Commission (EC) to give flexibility for those giving "ceramah” (political talks) in the campaign for the Johor state election to not have to wear the face mask when giving the talk.

However, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said, the relaxation on the wearing of the mask would only be allowed with compliance to other standard operating procedures (SOPs), including on physical distancing.
