Malaysia Further Eases Dine-in Restrictions – Public Urged to Continue Remaining Responsible

Malaysia has eased the imposed COVID-19 restrictions, which have allowed restaurants to host more than two people at each table for dine-in sessions. However, this can only be applied in four states in Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Selangor, and Penang. The restriction, which was lifted with effect from 19^th February 2021, allowed many people to enjoy a meal at some of the best restaurants in Bukit Bintang such as the one offered by The Kuala Lumpur Journal Hotel. More than two people are allowed to dine together at these restaurants depending on the size of the table as the diners are still subject to the one-metre social distancing rule.

When the country imposed COVID-19 regulations in March last year, many economic operations were stopped with immediate effect, including the dine-in services at the food and beverage outlets.
