Support for masking again


PETALING JAYA: Parents not only want the return of the mask mandate in schools, but they also want more support to be given to the schools to ensure that schools are not burdened.

Commenting on the Health Ministry’s recommendation for the use of face masks when schools reopen on May 2, Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) president Dr Muruga Raj Rajathurai, however, said a mask mandate was not necessary.
