Mask guidelines pending


Everywhere you look: A motorist riding past electronic billboards around Kuala Lumpur that serve as a reminder for members of the public to wear masks.

PUTRAJAYA: The Health Ministry is waiting for guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) on whether the wearing of masks should be part of a comprehensive measure to guard against Covid-19, says Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

For now, he said the government would not stop anybody from wanting to do so.
