Double face mask encouraged; niqab without mask an offence

Wearing two face masks at a time is encouraged but not mandatory as long as one mask is always worn, said Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, meanwhile, said wearing a face shield or a niqab (face veil) without a face mask was not allowed.
