TAIPEI, Taiwan—Three years into the global pandemic, Taiwan said people no longer have to wear masks at all times indoors though it is still keeping some restrictions in place.
People will still be required to wear masks in places like hospitals and medical institutions as well as on public transit, according to Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Center on Monday. Restaurants and offices will no longer require masks.
Schools will see the relaxation of the mask rule in March, as the requirement is being eased in two parts.
In December, Taiwan dropped its outdoor mask mandate, which had required people to wear a mask even while walking on the street.
