Apr 29: Chancery Notice Extracts

This is an extract from the Chancery Notice on 29th April 2022 - EASING OF COVID-19 SAFETY MEASURES FOR ATTENDING MASS
IN CHURCHES WITHIN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF KUALA LUMPUR 

• With effect from 1 May 2022, in compliance with the latest COVID-19 SOP relaxations, the following are updated measures for attending Masses in churches within the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur:
  • My-Sejahtera Check-In
    MySejahtera check-ins are no longer mandatory when entering the church premises for Mass.
  • Admission Regardless of Vaccination Status
    Everyone (vaccinated and unvaccinated) will be allowed entry into church for Mass. 
  • High Risk Status and Home Surveillance Order
    Notwithstanding #1, those entering the church for Mass must display their updated risk status on MySejahtera. Those with ‘High Risk’ status on MySejahtera and those under ‘Home Surveillance Order’ (HSO) must refrain from attending Mass in church.
  • Face Masks
    The wearing of face masks remains mandatory while indoors and strongly encouraged for outdoor gatherings when there is a crowd. High-risk and vulnerable individuals are strongly advised to be masked at all times.
  • Capacity Limits
    The Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur has provisionally decided that Churches no longer require a capacity limit for attending Mass. While this restriction is removed, gathering of large crowds in confined spaces pose higher risks of transmission. Hence, it is important and necessary to ensure that there is proper ventilation and airflow to reduce the concentration of any potential airborne contaminants, including viruses.
