Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said, in a Bernama report last week, that the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) had risen by two to 10 times the normal amount, and that new stock would constantly be needed, as it is one of the disposable items used daily.

Currently, the ministry acquires PPE in bulk by central procurement or at the state level, and donations from non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
