There are times we want to wear masks

Although the requirement to wear masks has lessened since the weekend – we still want to keep the habit for indoor areas and on public transport.

It’s no longer necessary to wear a mask on a train platform – if its outside – or at a bus stop, in offices, classrooms and even fitness centres. 
But while on a bus, tram or train it is still required. 

A survey by Marketagent suggests that three out of four of us are happy with the current arrangement and want it to stay that way, for a while at least. 

And it could be for a while. Recently, the head of SWISS International Airlines, Dieter Vranckx, recently said in an interview with the Blick newspaper, he expects masks to remain necessary on planes for several years.
