Requirements for wearing face masks
Requirements for wearing face masks
Wearing a face mask is compulsory when in a building (indoor) and on public transport including e-hailing rides. However, the use of face masks outdoors and in open areas is optional but highly recommended as face masks are able to reduce the spread of infection.
- Indoor and public transportation including e-hailing
- Enforcement under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 [Act 342] and regulations thereunder will be imposed on individuals who fail to comply with this instruction.
- Face masks can be removed when:
>Doing heavy exercise indoors but it should be worn again immediately after finishing the exercise
>If alone in a particular space
>While eating, drinking
>While speaking and/or presenting
- Wearing face masks, especially in buildings and on public transport, is still important to protect ourselves and those around us, especially for those at high-risk such as the elderly, children, and immunocompromised individuals.
- Outdoors
- However, MOH encourages that the wearing of masks in exterior facades continues to be practised especially when:
>In crowded areas like Ramadan bazaars, night markets, stadiums;
>Individuals have symptoms such as fever, cough, and cold;
>Individuals are at high-risk, and
>Carrying out activities with high-risk people such as the elderly and children.
