According to the Singapore government, mask-wearing in public transport is no longer implemented starting this 13 February (Monday). Additionally, Singaporeans can be maskless in indoor healthcare and residential care places.

The multi-ministry taskforce (MTF) shared the news on 9 February, thus putting many Singaporeans at ease.

But the relief doesn’t apply to all places and people. Visitors, staff, and patients in healthcare and residential places have to wear a mask since they’re always interacting with patients. Some settings that require mask-wearing are hospital wards, clinics, and nursing homes.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) regarded the new rule as a requirement than a COVID-19 regulation. It aims to protect patients and healthcare workers from infectious diseases.

Additionally, private sectors are free to adopt this requirement as a part of their company policy. If they have chosen not to, it’s acceptable.

However, MOH still encourages the public, especially the elderly and high-risk patients, to wear masks in crowded places or when interacting with others.

Although the Malaysian government no longer obligates mask-wearing, it’s still preferable to wear masks just to be safe. As everyone in this whole wide world know by now, prevention is definitely better than cure.
