IZZUE ISLAM & AZIRA SHAFINAZ TO ENCOURAGE THE 'MASK ON, SPREAD HOPE' CAMPAIGN, OFFICIATED BY YB DATO SRI ALEXANDER NANTA LINGGI

In conjunction with the launch of the Hari Raya Edition face mask, homegrown brand - Neutrovis rolls out the 'Mask On, Spread Hope' campaign with the Ministry of Domestic Trade & Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP), to remind Malaysians to wear face masks to protect themselves and their loved ones as they celebrate the month of Ramadan and prepare for Hari Raya Aidilfitri. The ‘Mask On, Spread Hope’ campaign was officially announced by YB Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi, Minister of Domestic Trade & Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP), accompanied by Secretary General, YBhg Datuk Seri Hj Hasnol Zam Zam Hj Ahmad.

Through the 'Mask on, Spread Hope' campaign, Neutrovis aims to be a symbol of hope to the Rakyat as they urge everyone to come together as one to curb the pandemic through vaccination, social distancing, and most importantly wearing face masks. It is especially crucial to keep to the SOPs and ensure the safety and well-being of family and friends while visiting and celebrating the month of Ramadan.

Studies revealed that hundreds of droplets ranging from 20 to 500 micrometres are released into the air each time a person speaks a simple phrase; because Covid-19 spreads through respiratory droplets, wearing a medical-grade face mask provides the ultimate protection and eliminates the spread of these viruses. The 'Mask on, Spread Hope' campaign aims to educate the public on the importance of choosing the right face masks and the differences between disposable masks and medical masks.

Many people are unaware that disposable masks are only suited for industrial use as it only serves the function of filtering dust particles and cannot prevent the spread of any viruses. Medical face masks with high Bacteria Filtration Efficiency (BFE) and Particle Filtration Efficiency (PFE) readings, on the other hand, is built to prevent the spread of Covid-19 because of its ability to block out any bacteria in the size of 1-5 microns and filter out any viable and nonviable particles sized 0.1-1 micron. Neutrovis' Premium Face Masks tops the charts with these readings - achieving more than 98% BFE and more than 96% PFE; On top of that, it is also CE certified and meets the EN14683 standards.

Neutrovis puts special care into the usability of these face masks too by utilizing ultra-gentle earloops for added comfort, as well as extra soft premium non-woven breathable fabric to reduce skin irritations, making them suitable to be used for extended periods. Neutrovis is an Anti-Germ Specialized Brand that provides the highest possible anti-germ standards, and at the same time, fulfilling the needs of skin-sensitive and image-conscious consumers. Neutrovis will always stay true to its promise of selling effective, premium medical face masks at affordable prices. This promise led to Neutrovis earning the title of “Most Medical Face Masks Sold in a Year” (Total : 195,131,200 pieces)” by the Malaysia Book of Records.

As face masks are now becoming a mandatory part of our daily wear, more people are looking towards masks with designs to complement their apparel. Hence, Neutrovis has catered to this demand by developing masks with trendy designs and, at the same time, certified for medical use, which in this case is to prevent the spread of Covid-19. In doing so, Neutrovis offers users freedom in the sense that they are able to express their style and fashion by matching their masks with their outfits while having peace of mind that they and their loved ones are well protected.

YB Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi, Minister of Domestic Trade & Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) said, "It is the Ministry’s mandate to remind the public ahead of Raya to act responsibly and adhere to wearing effective medical masks at all times - especially for shopping malls, retail staff, and consumers. I hope that our reminders will generate mutual understanding & cooperation amongst our society to put the mask on and spread hope to keep the nation & its economy healthy; for only by working together can we curb the pandemic. The Neutrovis Hari Raya face masks truly capture the spirit of Raya with their festive colors and patterns. Home-grown brand, Maystar Beauty has taken a commendable step into enabling people to mix and match their masks to their Raya outfits, enlightening them with a sense of freedom and personalization."
