Continue wearing face masks in open spaces, Penangites urged


GEORGE TOWN: Penangites should continue wearing face masks and practise physical distancing – even when in open spaces – to keep themselves safe from Covid-19.

"The public is strongly encouraged to wear face masks in open and crowded areas, especially those at risk such as the elderly and children. In fact, the practice of physical distancing is also highly encouraged," said Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
