KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia has dropped its mask mandate for indoor settings, except for people on public transport and in medical facilities, as well as those who have tested positive for Covid-19.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said on Wednesday that the government will leave it to the owners of premises to decide whether they will do away with mask wearing.

“If they make the decision to impose it, then people must abide (by it) and they can bar those who refuse from entering,” he said.
