KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 5): Relaxation of Covid-19 prevention standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all individual sports and recreational activities that do not involve physical contact is only given to areas that come under Phase 3 of the National Recovery Plan (PPN), said the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS).
Thus, KBS in a statement on its official Facebook site today said that an infographic announcement claiming that all individual sports activities are allowed as viralled on social media is fake news.
To date, only Perlis, Sarawak and Labuan have entered Phase 3 of PPN.
“KBS views seriously the viralling of the false infographic, which has confused the public.
“Please refer only to accurate information issued by KBS or surf http://www.kbs.gov.my/sopsukanrekreasi, apart from going directly to the National Security Council’s official website at www.mkn.gov.my (for authentic information),” the ministry said.
The false infographic that went viral on social media claims that sports and recreational activities such as jogging, exercising, badminton, tennis, golf, motoring, climbing, swimming, jet ski, tai chi, cycling, skateboarding, equestrian, tenpin bowling, archery and gymnasium activities are allowed from 6am to midnight so long as the SOP on physical distancing of at least two to three metres apart is complied with.
