UPM's Dr Malina added that masks are not 100% effective against viruses.

Universiti Putra Malaysia epidemiologist Assoc Prof Dr Malina Osman said premises with proper ventilation should be exempted.She said food-related infections were usually caused by cross-contamination, and rarely by coughing or sneezing.

Prof Dr Moy Foong Ming of Universiti Malaya’s Social and Preventive Medicine Department said the chances of rubella and Covid-19 being transmitted via food were low. Prof Moy noted that microorganisms causing illnesses such as cholera, typhoid fever and hepatitis A were usually transmitted via fecal-oral routes.

Prof Moy explained that although N95 respirators provide the best protection, surgical and cloth masks could still be used by food handlers.
