PETALING JAYA: As the Covid-19 pandemic shows no signs of slowing down, more governments have made it mandatory to wear face masks.
Those who do not comply with mask-wearing regulations face penalties, from fines which go into the thousands, to even jail terms.
Exceptions are given to people who are engaged in strenuous exercises like running, but they will have to put it on once they stop exercising. As of Monday, the country now has 24 active coronavirus cases, with daily new cases in the single-digits. This includes public places such as roads, squares, marketplaces and even green areas such as parks and beaches.
