UM researchers develop face mask sterilisation machine

A group of researchers from UM have developed a machine to sterilise face masks, allowing them to be reused.

The project’s chief researcher says the machine, which resembles a microwave, will decontaminate used face masks from viruses including COVID-19.

The sterilisation process takes around seven minutes to complete.

He adds that the technology will likely benefit Malaysia’s medical sector by saving millions of ringgit on mask purchases.
