TRAVELLERS returning home to Perlis to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri are to practise self-control to prevent another outbreak of Covid-19, Perlis Menteri Besar Azlan Man said.

According to Azlan, the state government strongly urged the community to exercise self-control even though the Health Ministry had earlier announced the relaxation of several standard operating procedures.

“With the flexibility given by the government, it has become important for everyone to have some self-restraint to reduce the spread of the disease,” he said in Kangar this evening.

Yesterday, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said wearing a face mask would be optional outdoors, beginning May 1. – Bernama, April 28, 2022.
