Kuala Lumpur: The wearing of face masks is only compulsory in crowded public places, said Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
Admitting that there was still confusion on the wearing of face masks as part of the COVID-19 standard operating procedure (SOP), he said it was not necessary if one was alone and practised physical distancing.
“There are many public places including parks, but if you are alone there is no need to wear a mask because it is only compulsory in crowded public places. In crowded markets, buses and LRT, it is a must to wear face masks.
