PETALING JAYA: Health minister Khairy Jamaluddin has clarified that only fully vaccinated individuals are allowed to dine-in throughout all phases of the national recovery plan.

In a Twitter post, Khairy said the SOPs released by the National Security Council (MKN) earlier today were not updated.

“Dine-in privileges for all recovery phases only for those fully vaccinated. Official statement to follow,” he said.

Earlier today, FMT reported that restaurants can allow dining-in by all customers, whether or not they are vaccinated, under Phase 3 of the recovery plan.

The Klang Valley and Melaka have the phase today, joining Perlis, Pahang, Terengganu and Sarawak.

MKN’s SOP for states under Phase 3 did not state that customers must be fully vaccinated to dine in.

Under the guidelines for Phase 2 states, dining-in is allowed only for those fully vaccinated.

However, dining-in for the purpose of a “social gathering” is still not allowed, while operating hours remain from 6am to midnight. — Free Malaysia Today
