SHAH ALAM: Dining in at eateries will be allowed in Selangor from tomorrow but customers must comply with standard operating procedures, including social distancing.
Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari said the eateries, including restaurants, food courts, covered stalls and kiosks, are allowed to operate from 7am to 10pm but they must not place dining tables along corridors or in parking lots.
