PETALING JAYA: Masks are still a must for Malaysians as the festive season continues and the country battles an onslaught of Covid-19 cases, say health authorities and experts. Their advice comes at the heels of the latest guidance by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which said that fully vaccinated individuals in the United States need not wear masks when they are outdoors. A person is considered “fully vaccinated” two weeks after they have received their second dose. However, Malaysia’s Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah maintained that for now, masks still need to be worn.
