Although most of the obligations to wear indoors are lifted, there are of course places where you must continue to wear a mask.

Public transportation is a prime example.

Reporter Shin Yong-sik went to the Seoul subway station in advance to see what the commute to work would be like tomorrow (30th) morning.



Reporter Shin, are there different duties to wear before and after boarding the train?



<Reporter>



Yes, I am at the platform of Yeouido Station on Seoul Subway Line 5.



Even if the obligation to wear a mask is lifted from tomorrow, you still have to wear a mask on public transportation such as the subway, but the important thing is whether or not you board.



You can take off your mask when you are standing on the platform like now, but you must wear it when you get on the subway.



In addition, it is recommended to wear it on the platform when there are many people, such as on the way to work, but it is up to the individual whether to wear it or not.



In addition, you must wear a mask in taxis, buses, trains, airplanes, as well as commuting vehicles such as kindergartens and schools.

Besides public transportation, are there other places to pay attention to?



<Reporter>



Yes, even in medical facilities and pharmacies, wearing a mask is compulsory for the time being.



However, there are exceptions where it can be confusing.



First of all, you can take off your mask in a large mart, but you must wear a mask in the pharmacy space inside the mart.

Even in healthcare facilities, there are places where standards differ.



You have to wear a mask in the hospital, but you can take it off in the single occupancy room.



In addition, in facilities vulnerable to infection such as nursing hospitals, patients or guardians can take off their masks even if they are in a multi-person room, as long as there are no outsiders visiting.



The quarantine authorities said that even if the mask duty is lifted, the elderly and those with symptoms are still strongly recommended to wear masks.
