Infographic on SOP relaxations only for Phase 3 areas

The youth and sports ministry says the SOPs only apply to Perlis, Sarawak and Labuan and not to the whole country.

An informatic on relaxation of SOPs for sports activities, including for gyms, is only meant for states under Phase 3 of the national recovery plan.
KUALA LUMPUR:
Relaxation of Covid-19 prevention SOPs for all individual sports and recreational activities which do not involve physical contact is only given to areas that have come under Phase 3 of the national recovery plan (NRP).

As such, the youth and sports ministry (KBS), in its official Facebook page, said an infographic claiming that all individual sports activities were allowed was fake news.

It said, to date, only Perlis, Sarawak and Labuan have entered Phase 3 of the NRP.

“KBS views seriously the viralling of this false infographic as it confuses the public.”

The ministry asked people to refer only to accurate information issued by KBS apart from going directly to the National Security Council’s official website at www.mkn.gov.my for authentic information.

The false infographic that has gone viral on social media claimed that sports and recreational activities, such as jogging, exercising, badminton, tennis, golf, motoring, climbing, swimming, jet skiing, tai chi, cycling, skateboarding, equestrian events, ten pin bowling, archery and gymnasium activities, were allowed from 6am to midnight as long as the SOPs on physical distancing of at least 2-3 metres apart were complied with.
