Social gatherings such as wedding banquets, birthday celebrations and official events will not be allowed from May 12 to June 7. No Hari Raya visits will be allowed, either.

Restrictions on interstate and inter-district travel as well as on the education, social and sports sectors will remain in place until June 6.

Muhyiddin also announced a limit of three persons in a car, including the driver.

It is also mandatory for employers to enforce a work-from-home policy at the workplace with not more than 30% of management staff on-premise at any one time.

All educational institutions are to be closed, with exemptions for students taking international examinations. Daycare centres and kindergartens will be allowed to operate throughout the MCO.

Aidilfitri prayers in mosques and suraus will be allowed to go ahead with a limit of not more than 50 people for premises that can fit more than 1,000 congregants while smaller mosques and suraus that can fit less than 1,000 people are allowed only 20 worshippers.

The SOPs for non-Muslim houses of worship will also be tightened, although this will be announced later by the national unity ministry.

“Specific measures currently in place in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan will continue,” Muhyiddin added.

The ban on interstate and inter-district travel will remain except for emergencies, health, work, economy or vaccination purposes, as well as long-distance couples.

Face-to-face seminars, conferences and meetings will be banned during the MCO. Marriage ceremonies will be allowed but with strict SOPs in place.
