Face masks are going missing during transit

PETALING JAYA: The pilfering of face masks during interstate shipment via postal and courier services during the Covid-19 pandemic has become so rampant that some companies are suspending the delivery of such items nationwide.

An industry source said the face masks went missing during shipment because the items were in short supply lately because of the outbreak.“With increasing reports of face masks being pilfered or going missing during shipment to courier companies, some have placed it as a high-risk item while others declined to take delivery,” said the source.
