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.
