Manufacturers told to increase production of face masks, says Saifuddin

PUTRAJAYA: Local manufacturers have been asked to increase the production of face masks by another 400,000 pieces daily to ensure sufficient supply in the wake of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCOV) outbreak.

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said a meeting with the manufacturers and importers of face masks was held two days ago to get the actual supply figures.
