SG BULOH – The use of face masks on school premises, be it indoor or outdoor, is no longer mandatory, said Education Minister Datuk Radzi Jidin.
Through a video clip on his official Facebook page, he said, however, the use of face masks was still encouraged in schools, especially in crowded places.
“In addition, students who travel by school bus are reminded to wear them at all times.
“Most importantly we must ensure the school environment is safe,” he said.
He added that more information regarding the use of face masks in schools will be included in a media statement to be issued today.
He said this following the announcement by the Health Ministry on September 7, which stipulated that the wearing of face masks inside buildings is now up to individuals. – Bernama, September 10, 2022
