Deepavali is just around the corner and with the lockdowns just passing, we still need to ensure there isn’t a sudden burst in Covid-19 cases.

Hence why the authorities have announced the Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) for Deepavali.

Kementerian Perpaduan Negara took to their Twitter page to share the SOPs.
