The Use Of Face Masks Is Not Mandatory At Home And In Private Vehicles – Ismail Sabri

Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that the use of face masks is not mandatory at home and in private vehicles.

Through a special press conference on the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) held just now, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob stated that face masks should only be worn in crowded public places.

The use of face masks in large areas as well as those with physical distancing is not mandatory.

According to the Senior Minister (Security Cluster), among the examples of crowded public places that are required to wear face masks are public markets, farmers’ markets, night markets and supermarkets as well as tourist hotspots and cinemas.

Even so, people who are doing physical activities and are in their own vehicles are not required to wear face masks.

“Yesterday, there were viral social media reports saying action had been taken against people for not wearing masks in private vehicles; this is not true. Private vehicles are not public transport. If you are travelling with family members or colleagues (in private vehicles), no action will be taken.

“As for public places, no mask is needed where physical distancing is possible, for example on a football field. The wearing of face masks in wide spaces is not compulsory but encouraged,” he told a news conference on the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) at Parliament building here today.
