The department says while welcoming the scrapping of the wearing of masks announced by government, it has urged people to be mindful of their vulnerability as COVID-19 is still around.
Head of Operations in the Department Dr Saadiq Kariem says masks have proven to provide protection against airborne diseases. “We encourage voluntary wearing of masks where applicable, this will be for people with flu symptoms, people with underlying chronic conditions and the elderly.
Lol literally why? Vaccinations not working huh 😂
I'll still wear mask as usual especially in public spaces after all it is indeed voluntarily so as long as I'm not going to be arrested. 😷😷 I'll stop wearing mask next year 2023. 🙄
Informed by science I guess.
It should also become normal for people with cold or flu symptoms to wear masks if they cannot stay home.
