KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): A global shortage of condoms is looming, the world's biggest producer said, after a movement control order (MCO) forced it to shut down production.

Malaysia's Karex Bhd makes one in every five condoms globally. It has not produced a single condom from its three Malaysian factories in the past 10 days due to the MCO imposed by the government to halt the spread of the Covid-19.
