You'll still need to wear a mask in some healthcare and residential care settings in Singapore from Feb 13. Here are the rules:
SINGAPORE: The wearing of masks on public transport as well as some healthcare and residential care settings will no longer be mandatory from Monday , when Singapore also steps down its disease alert to the lowest level since the COVID-19 pandemic started.
Should someone be in a hospital area not related to the"delivery of care" - such as a cafeteria or car park - mask-wearing is not mandatory, MOH's director of medical services Kenneth Mak clarified at a COVID-19 multi-ministry task force press conference on Thursday. Those with symptoms of COVID-19 or other respiratory infections are also strongly advised to wear a mask when leaving their homes, said the ministry.Singapore to further scale back COVID-19 financial support; vaccines and antivirals stay fully subsidised
It was three years ago when Singapore first raised its DORSCON level to Orange in February 2020 and implemented mask-wearing requirements in April 2020. "It does not mean there will be no more COVID-19 infections ... but we can now live a normal life while remaining vigilant." The ministry also announced the stepping down of contact tracing tool TraceTogether and the SafeEntry digital check-in system.
