SINGAPORE - Mask-wearing indoors will no longer be a legal requirement except in healthcare facilities and public transport, and other settings that are likely crowded, enclosed and used by vulnerable persons.

This was among changes to safe management measures the multi-ministry task force tackling Covid-19 announced on Wednesday (Aug 24).

Here's what you need to know about the changes:

1. Masks no longer needed indoors from Aug 29

While mask-wearing indoors will no longer be legally required from Aug 29, they are still mandatory in places where essential services are carried out in enclosed and crowded areas, and which are frequently used by vulnerable persons.
