KUALA LUMPUR – Relaxation of Covid-19 prevention standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all individual sports and recreational activities that do not involve physical contact is only given to areas under Phase 3 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP), said the Youth and Sports Ministry.
In a statement on its official Facebook page today, the ministry debunked a viral infographic claiming that all individual sports activities.
To date, only Perlis, Sarawak and Labuan have entered Phase 3 of the NRP.
“The ministry seriously views the spreading of the false and confusing infographic.
“Please refer only to accurate information issued by the ministry, or visit www.kbs.gov.my/sopsukanrekreasi, apart from the National Security Council’s official website at www.mkn.gov.my for authentic information,” it said.
The false infographic had claimed that sports and recreational activities such as jogging, exercising, badminton, tennis, golf, motoring, climbing, swimming, jetski, tai chi, cycling, skateboarding, equestrian, tenpin bowling, archery, and gymnasium activities were allowed from 6am to midnight so long as physical distancing of at least two to three metres apart is complied with. – Bernama, August 5, 2021
