Understanding Tuberculosis (TB) and the Right Ways to Protect Yourself

The Malaysian Society of Infection Control and Infectious Diseases (MyICID) takes note of recent reports regarding an increase in tuberculosis (TB) cases across the country, which have understandably caused public concern. While vigilance is important, our response must be guided by scientific evidence rather than fear.

Recently, there have been calls for the public to adopt “universal masking” — the practice of everyone wearing face masks at all times in public spaces — as a measure to prevent the spread of TB. However, this approach is not supported by established TB control principles. Notably, the World Health Organization (WHO) and public health experts do not recommend universal masking for TB control in the community.
