PUTRAJAYA, Oct 2 — The Ministry of Health (MoH) has recommended that all large-scale events and mass gatherings be postponed following the increase in COVID-19 positive cases.

Director-General of Health Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said mass gatherings should be avoided to break the infection chain of the deadly virus in the country.

“If mass gatherings or conferences need to be held, each organizer must ensure that the standard operating procedures (SOP) set are complied with by all parties.

“We are still in the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) period and everyone must comply with the SOP set by the National Security Council,” he told a press conference here today.

Dr Noor Hisham said there was no recommendation from the ministry to limit activities in the social sector so far, although the daily COVID-19 cases showed an increase.
