Face mask compulsory from Aug 1

KUALA LUMPUR: It will be compulsory to wear face masks in crowded public places and on public transport starting Aug 1 or face stern action, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Senior Minister (Security) said the ruling was made following the increase in positive Covid-19 cases for the past three days and lower compliance to standard operating procedures (SOP) among the public.
