PETALING JAYA: People should wear masks, practise social distancing and avoid the '3Cs' of confined spaces, crowded places and close contact with one another, says Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

"Then it's crowded places. You should avoid that, too."Sometimes you can come very close. If you can stay a bit of distance , that would be encouraged.

"Wearing a mask will be additional protection," he said at the ministry’s daily Covid-19 media briefing here Wednesday . Dr Hisham made the mask remark after he was asked if Malaysia would follow Singapore to make it mandatory for everyone to wear a mask when they step out as part of stricter measures to curb the further spread of the coronavirus.

On whether the ministry had identified any sub-cluster in Lembah Pantai, he pointed to areas that had been put under the enhanced Movement Control Order . "If you look into the areas involved, Menara Plaza City One, Malaya Mansion and the Selangor Mansion are under Lembah Pantai.
