What are the new rules for Hari Raya, Kaamatan, and Gawai visits?

Question

Accepted Answer

New Regulations Limit Festive Visits to First Day and Capped at 20 People

Visits during Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Pesta Kaamatan, and Hari Gawai are now restricted to the first day of each celebration and are limited to immediate family members, with a maximum of 20 individuals permitted per day. These revised guidelines aim to manage the risks associated with celebratory gatherings during the ongoing pandemic.
Festive Visit Restrictions

Gatherings for Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Pesta Kaamatan, and Hari Gawai are permitted exclusively on the initial day of each respective festival. These visits are to be confined to immediate family members, ensuring a more controlled and intimate setting for celebrations.
Daily Attendance Cap

A strict limit of 20 people is imposed for any single day of celebration. This stipulation necessitates careful consideration of household size and space. For smaller residences, such as apartment units around 600 square feet, hosts are advised to exercise discretion and allow only a few individuals at a time to maintain safe distancing, ensuring the daily total does not exceed the 20-person threshold.
Prohibition of Open Houses and Interstate Travel

The practice of hosting open houses is explicitly prohibited under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 (Act 342). Furthermore, interstate travel for the purpose of celebrating these festivals remains disallowed, reinforcing the focus on local and immediate family interactions.
Adherence to Health Protocols

All visitors and hosts must continue to observe established Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs). This includes regular hand washing with soap, the use of hand sanitisers, wearing face masks, and maintaining social distancing to minimise the potential for virus transmission during these festive periods.
