Provide facilities to dispose of masks

PETALING JAYA: With the Covid-19 pandemic here for a long stay, environmental groups are calling on the government to look into providing special facilities for Malaysians to properly dispose of their single use face masks which now number in the millions daily.

Sahabat Alam Malaysia president Meenakshi Raman said since face masks required special treatment due to their hazardous nature, people should not be mixing these with their normal waste.
