KUALA LUMPUR – Fully vaccinated individuals are allowed to attend sports and recreational matches, except those under 18, effective October 1, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
The Special Committee on Covid-19 Pandemic Management chairman said spectators or supporters would be required to wear face masks throughout the sporting events and no eating or drinking is allowed while in stadiums.
He said official government and private functions including inaugurations and workshops are also allowed at 50% capacity in states under Phase Two and Three of the National Recovery Plan (NRP), provided that guests have received complete vaccinations, while full capacity was allowed in Phase Four states.
“Those who have yet to be vaccinated are required to undergo pre-event testing using the self-test kit (saliva) before attending the event, witnessed by the organiser or with confirmation by medical practitioners,” he said in a statement today.
Last week, the Malaysian Football League (MFL) appealed to the National Security Council (NSC) to allow fans, who have completed both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine jabs, to attend M-League matches in stadiums.
According to MFL, the relaxation on fully vaccinated individuals should be extended to football fans to enable them to go to the stadiums to watch the matches. – Bernama, September 29, 2021
