The only time I could take off my mask indoors was when I was eating at a restaurant or cafe.
I had to wear a mask when not eating.
From today, you don’t have to put on and take off your mask in restaurants.
This is because the obligation to wear an indoor mask disappears.
But there are still places to write.
Medical institutions such as hospitals and pharmacies are obliged to wear masks.
You can take off your mask inside a hypermarket store.
However, if you go to the ‘pharmacy’ in the mart like this, you have to wear a mask again.
Public transportation such as buses, taxis, planes and subways is one such place.
Wearing a mask is compulsory even in nursing facilities and other facilities, but there are exceptions.
If there is no outsider access, you will not be fined for negligence even if you take off your mask in a single room in a medical institution or a multi-person room in a facility.
Except for school buses, wearing a mask is left to voluntary use at daycare centers and schools that are about to open.
In addition, it is necessary to confirm that each local government may additionally set a mandatory place to wear a mask.
The day when I can take off my mask after 27 months.
There are also reactions that are expected.

“They say you still have to wear it when using public transportation, so maybe you’re taking it off when you’re noticing the people around you, but I do want to take it off whenever possible.”
There are many people who want to keep using it.
[이재분/서울 망우동]
“You have to wear it both on the bus and on the train. Maybe in my case, I can’t take it off. It’s become a habit, so I just don’t wear a mask anymore. At that time, I might not wear it.”
The quarantine authorities still recommend wearing a mask in places where a lot of people gather or in situations where you are vulnerable to infection.
