But with the Covid-19 pandemic, strict standard operating procedure (SOP) will be imposed on cinemagoers and operators.

Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said patrons must remain in their vehicles throughout the movie with food ordered online only.

Revealing the decision made by the special ministerial committee chaired by him, the Senior Minister said Rela personnel would keep things in check at the sites.

The ministries in charge of drawing up the SOP would be Multimedia and Communications, and Housing and Local Government, he added.
