“We decided to allow cinemas and live events to resume operations starting 1st July, but only in closed environments and halls,” he said.
SOPs will be tightly implemented and the number of attendants cannot exceed 250 people, depending on the size of the cinema hall and event spaces. He also stressed that there should be a one-meter social distance rule kept at all times.
The SOPs when entering the premise will still apply, hence, compulsory body temperature checks and wearing of masks/sanitising your hands will still be required.
Cinema operators were also excited to welcome movie-goers next month and took to their social media to announce the reopening with movies that will be showing this July.
