PETALING JAYA: Several Malaysian manufacturers have teamed up to help the global fight against Covid-19 by boosting production of personal protective equipment (PPE) and specialised swab sticks for mass testing.

Malaysian Plastics Manufacturers Association (MPMA) president Datuk Lim Kok Boon said manufacturers here have heeded the World Health Organisation's (WHO) recent announcement of a global shortage of PPE by producing five million pieces a month with the ability to ramp up production.
