Covid-19: Melaka govt mulls making face masks mandatory again

MELAKA: Face masks will be made mandatory by Jan 17 in the state if Covid-19 cases record an upward trend, says the Melaka government.

State health and anti-drug committee chairman Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh said the preemptive measure of making face masks a must in public areas was in line with the increasing number of global Covid-19 cases.
