The Penang State Exco for Tourism, Arts, Culture and Heritage (Petach) has released a standard operating procedure (SOP) template to assist in the reopening of arts and cultural spaces in Penang based on the public health guidelines issued by the Federal Government.

In light of the new normal, Penang is the first state in Malaysia to initiate such a framework, with the working document titled “Public Health Safety Operations Guidelines For Arts And Culture Spaces”. It will be updated to reflect the changes in the conditional movement control order (CMCO) guidelines by Malaysian National Security Council (MKN) after June 9.
