Personally, I will wear it even after CB. For how long will depend on the situation then.
So after CB, we will continue to wear masks even at work meetings? -

Even when we were advised not to wear mask if healthy, I still wore when picking up my children from school and during peak hours on the train. I think I will continue to do that.

[quote]Singapore has been increasing its capacity to test migrant workers for the coronavirus, with a total of 21,000 workers tested since the start of the outbreak, said Health Minister Gan Kim Yong on Monday (April 27).
This means that one in 15 migrant workers in dormitories has been tested for the virus, he said, adding that the rate of testing has not slowed down.[/quote][quote]Every positive test is added to Singapore's case count, he added. In dormitories where the assessed rate of infection is very high, efforts are focused on isolating those who show symptoms, even without a confirmed test, Mr Gan said.
Singapore is also expanding its capacity to test on the national level. It is now able to test more than 8,000 people a day, from 2,900 a day before. Targeted testing is being implemented for selected groups, such as essential workers and staff of institutions such as nursing homes, who come into close contact with the vulnerable elderly.[/quote]https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/799-new-covid-19-patients-in-singapore-taking-the-total-to-14-423[quote]About 3.5 per cent, or 11,419, of the 323,000 migrant workers living in dormitories have tested positive, putting the spotlight on their living conditions in these dormitories.[/quote]The large number of daily confirmed cases will probably last for quite a period of time given that less than 10% of the workers has been tested so far. :xedfingers: -
It’s was implied, after CB, masks will be compulsory at market, indoor public places and public transport, just like now.
But how about our offices and meeting rooms? Doesn’t make sense to not wear masks internally but I cannot imagine to wear masks at presentations to bosses! -

I had a meeting with some people from Hong Kong back in February here when our govt said to wear masks only when we are sick. The HK people were wearing masks during the whole meeting while we did not. I guess we will have to get used to wearing masks until we are vaccinated.

before CB starts, I wore mask when sitting next and talking to a person at close proximity but will take off my mask when I m further away though in the same office…need to use hand sanitizer frequently.

I guess some will recover before testing?

Hmm… We were not allowed masks b4 CB, if we are not unwell… Follow advisories closely
