Mask-wearing, however, will still be required in healthcare settings such as clinics, hospitals and residential and nursing homes. They will also include the retail, food and beverages (F&B) outlets in hospitals and polyclinics, as well as dental facilities, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinics, renal dialysis centres, and so on.
Singaporean residents and tourists will no longer be legally required to wear their masks indoors from Aug 29, announced the multi-ministry task force (MTF) on Aug 24.
The announcement comes after Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s National Day Rally speech, where he announced that the government will reduce mask requirements with Singapore’s Covid-19 situation “stabilising”.
