Quotes

 * No human-to-human transmission of the (COVID-19) novel coronavirus has been reported in the country (Malaysia, as of 2 February 2020), and thus there is no need for the public to panic and start wearing masks. However, those with such symptoms, must wear the masks to prevent infecting others, as it is also the influenza season. What is more important is to keep on washing hands properly using soap.
 * Lee Boon Chye (2020) cited in "No need to wear face masks unless you have flu-like symptoms, says Deputy Health Minister" on The Star Online, 2 February 2020.
