Coronavirus (2019-nCoV): Don’t hike the prices of face masks

The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry has categorised face masks as price control items following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) which has now spread to more than 14 countries.

The price of five types of face masks come under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011 to prevent traders and retailers hiking the price of the item, said the ministry's secretary-general Datuk Muez Abd Aziz.
