On 1st August, it was made mandatory for all citizens to wear face masks in public transportation and crowded public places in which physical distancing could not be avoided. This includes public buses, MRT, LRT, KTM, wet markets, night markets, cinemas and tourist attractions.

However, it is not required when an individual is exercising, driving alone, or in his or her house. Masks also do not need to be worn by children aged two years and below.

5. Every premise is required to use MySejahtera
