Ministry: Make sure you wear the right type of mask


Proper protection: Pupils wearing masks during assembly at a school in Perak.

PETALING JAYA: Many Malaysians are unknowingly using the wrong face mask which does not protect them from haze conditions.

They are using surgical masks, which cannot filter haze particles, when they should be wearing the N95 respiratory mask as recommended by the Health Ministry.
