KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 — The Ministry of Health (MOH) is working with the National Security Council (MKN) to develop some ventilation guidelines regarding the reopening of gymnasiums as well as on allowing outdoor team sports activities, said its minister, Khairy Jamaluddin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis will not take long but because of the nature of indoor fitness centers, we must stress certain ventilation requirements. Working on it urgently,\u201d\u00a0he tweeted\u00a0today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Khairy said the good news would be announced soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c(Meanwhile) The request by Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu (Youth and Sports Minister) for outdoor team sports is justified. The minister is indeed concerned about the sports sector. Earlier, it was discussed and decided at the MKN COVID-19 meeting,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier on Twitter,\u00a0Ahmad Faizal urged Khairy to allow\u00a0gyms and outdoor sports facilities to reopen\u00a0following the government\u2019s recent\u00a0announcement that cinemas would reopen from tomorrow (Sept 9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahmad Faizal suggested that gyms and outdoor sports could be allowed to reopen with strict standard operating procedures (SOP) in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that cinemas\u00a0in states\u00a0that are in Phase One of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) would be allowed to operate at\u00a050 percent capacity beginning tomorrow, with only those who have completed their COVID-19 vaccination allowed to enter the halls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
