Disclaimer: This relaxation of SOPs is only entitled to FULLY VACCINATED individuals.
Caretaker Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin just announced that sports, recreational and leisure activities will be ALLOWED in states under Phase 1 of the National Recovery Plan starting 20 August, only for fully vaccinated individuals.
Here’s the list of standard operating procedures (SOP) that individuals have to adhere to:
- Activities allowed include non-contact sports and non-group activities that are held in semi-open and open areas.
- Physical distancing must be adhered to at all times.
- Premises involved in these activities are allowed to open from 6am to 10pm
- Activities allowed include jogging, exercise, taichi, cycling, skateboarding, fishing, equestrian, archery, climbing, tennis (singles), badminton (singles), golf, motoring and the like.
- Dine-in activities at restaurants or cafes at these premises are ALLOWED in accordance with the dine-in SOPs.
- Premises owners must ensure that those entering the premises for dine-in MUST show a Covid-19 digital vaccination certificate which shows that the individual has been fully vaccinated.
- Operation of changing rooms or shower facilities at clubhouse premises are NOT ALLOWED to prevent any gathering after sports to reduce the risk of infection.
- Permitted activities also include picnics and camping.
- Participation of children aged 17 and under is allowed with strict adherence to 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!
