Another - Cik Bedah - suggested hiking, saying that it is among the few recreational activities where someone risks being kicked if people are less than a meter apart from each other. Hiking enthusiasts will understand, she added.
Some also took to other social media platforms to ask if jogging around their neighbourhood would be allowed.

The Youth and Sports Ministry made some proposals to NSC and they made the decision based on the risk evaluation done by Health Ministry, in line with the current Covid-19 situation. Our hope is to break the rise in new cases in the community, especially in the Klang Valley, said the ministry in a statement.
