KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): The United States has lifted a ban on a Malaysian medical glove maker it had accused of using forced labour, a government statement showed, amid a surge in demand for personal protective equipment to fight the coronavirus crisis.

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on Tuesday (March 24) said disposable rubber gloves made by WRP Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd after March 16,2020, will be admissible at all US ports of entry.
