JUST IN: Dine-In Allowed For Fully Vaccinated Individuals In Phase 1 States Starting 20 August

Disclaimer: This relaxation of SOPs are only entitled to FULLY VACCINATED individuals.

Caretaker Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin just announced that dine-in in restaurants and eateries will be ALLOWED in states under Phase 1 of the National Recovery Plan starting 20 August.

Here’s the list of standard operating procedures (SOP) individuals have to adhere to:

• Restaurant operators should provide more dining space outside the premises for better ventilation as the risk of transmission of Covid-19 is higher indoors than outdoors.
• Owners of eateries must ensure that those entering the premises for dine-in MUST show a Covid-19 digital certificate that proves the individual has been fully vaccinated.
• Couples who have been fully vaccinated and plan to bring children aged 17 and below for dine-in at restaurant premises must ensure that their children adhere to strict SOPs.

This, of course, applies only to those who have been fully vaccinated with the Covid-19 vaccine. Individuals who have received the vaccine that requires two doses (Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Sinovac), are only considered fully vaccinated 14 days after their second dose.

Individuals who have received the vaccine that only requires one dose (Johnson & Johnson, CanSino), are only considered fully vaccinated 28 days after the date of vaccination.

Stay tuned for more updates!
