Pupils only need to wear face shields


Affordable safety: According to Ismail Sabri, a face shield costs between RM3 and RM5 and can be worn for months.

PUTRAJAYA: Students aged 12 and below will be allowed to wear only a face shield at school, after concerns that disposable masks could become too expensive for low income families.

Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said children could opt to wear both face shields and face masks, but masks would not be mandatory anymore.
