Lifting of All COVID-19 Measures Including Mask Wearing on Public Transport and in Healthcare Facilities

Mr Yip Hon Weng asked the Minister for Health (a) what are the considerations for the lifting of all COVID-19 measures, including mask wearing on public transport and in healthcare facilities; and (b) when will the Government do so.

Mr Ong Ye Kung: As mentioned in the Prime Minister’s New Year’s Day message, we will review the remaining few COVID-19 measures to arrive at a new post-COVID-19 norm. This is currently in progress, as we monitor the situation following the recent festive holidays, the Northern Hemisphere winter and the opening up of China.
