Experts: High-risk group must be protected

PETALING JAYA: Efforts to protect high-risk groups must be in place should the government remove the mask mandate in enclosed areas, say health experts.

Based on the current infection status, the elderly and high-risk groups would be the ones most affected if the mask mandate were to be removed completely, said Prof Dr Moy Foong Ming, who is from Universiti Malaya’s Department of Social and Preventive Medicine.
