PUTRAJAYA: Face mask manufacturers have agreed to increase production to normalise supply even as the government gave its assurance that it will buy any extra supply.

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the additional supply of masks to be produced meant there was no need to limit the purchase of these items.

“Once this is done, we will be able to have enough supply of face masks for the public in the wake of the Covid-19 viral outbreak, ” he told reporters after a dialogue with industry players yesterday. There are fewer than 10 face mask manufacturers in the country focusing on the production of masks for surgical and industrial use.

“We received reports that this does not happen all over the country but only in certain places and states.
