KUCHING (July 12): Medical equipment manufacturer Rentas Health Sdn Bhd (Rentas Health) believes personal protective equipment (PPE), especially face masks, will remain relevant in the next couple of years.

According to managing director Kelly Teoh, this comes in spite of the changes to standard operating procesures (SOPs) with regards to wearing face masks effective May 1, 2022 in line with Malaysia’s transition to an endemic phase.

“At the beginning of the pandemic, although there were various mask options available, we found that a lot of people did not feel very comfortable wearing them,” she said to The Borneo Post in an exclusive interview.
