From 0:00 on the 30th, the obligation to wear a mask inside will be converted to a recommendation.

On October 13, 2020, after the introduction of the obligation to wear masks indoors, mainly in multi-use facilities, in about two years and three months, even if you do not wear a mask indoors, you will not subject to a fine.

However, to protect the vulnerable group, you must wear a mask in residential facilities such as nursing and welfare facilities, hospitals and pharmacies, and public transport.

Public transport requiring you to wear a mask only applies to ‘vehicles’.

You do not need to wear a mask at the boarding stop, station, airport, etc., but you must wear a mask when boarding a train.

There are exceptions in hospitals and pharmacies where wearing masks indoors is maintained.

In the case of hospitals, you can only remove your blindfold when you are in the room with a resident guardian or roommate. If there is a pharmacy inside the mart, you do not have to wear it until the passage inside the mart.

You must wear a mask if the swimming pool, bathhouse or gym is in a mask-mandatory facility.

The quarantine authorities reiterated that this measure changes the indoor mask obligation to a recommendation, and people have been asked to wear a mask at any time if they experience a high risk of infection, such as showing symptoms of corona or in a crowded place.

This adjustment is the first step, and the second step, which recommends the obligation to wear a mask all indoors, is expected to be made when the domestic corona crisis level decreases or when the legal infectious disease score is changed from level 2 to level 4.
