TikToker on new masking rules: 'when need mask and when no need mask' goes viral, but commenters say they’re keeping the mask on for now

On Tuesday, Mar 29, masking rules for Singaporeans were loosened, but given that they’re rather complicated, it may take a while before people get used to them.

A TikToker who goes by @dorachong_oe captured the vibe perfectly in a video that’s been viewed almost one million times.

At the beginning of the clip, she rejoices, clapping her hands because “Now Singapore no need wear mask.”

This is true until you have to take a lift, where masks are still required.

But on the “walk walk walk” to the bus stop, no need to wear a mask.

However, while on the bus, you guessed it! You still need to wear a mask.

Alighting from the bus and walking to where you’re going? Yes! No mask is needed.

But for going shopping, yes, gotta put that “face cover” on again.

At restaurants, while waiting for your order, better keep that mask on.

When your food comes—duh—take your mask off.

But when you finish, and before you leave, on it goes again, yeah!

“Oi, need mask, oi!,” @dorachong_oe shouts, seemingly at herself, before ending the video by saying, “‘Mask, no mask. Mask, no mask. Mask, no mask!”

Many of the commenters said, however, they’re likely to continue wearing masks, for a number of different reasons.
