Masking Up Indoors Is Now Officially Optional But Malaysians Seem To Have Grown Attached To Them
Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin just announced that wearing masks indoors is now officially made optional, but still encourages those at high-risk to mask up.
However, masks will still me mandatory in all health care facilities and in public transportation, much like the recent ruling in Singapore as well.
Today I announced face mask indoor will be optional effective immediately. However, it’s still mandatory in all health care facilities (hospitals, clinics, nursing homes etc), in public transports and if you’re COVID-19 +ve. High-risks are encouraged to keep their masks on.
