Prof Fisher: I don't believe S'pore will mandate mask wearing forever nor prevent large gatherings indefinitely, just not the way people want to live

[tripleme]

Professor Dale Fisher, senior consultant at the National University Hospital's Division of Infectious Diseases, said that he believed most things would return to the pre-pandemic way of life.

"I don't believe Singapore will mandate mask wearing forever nor prevent large gatherings indefinitely. Its just not the way people want to live and the absence of such restrictions overseas will influence public opinion here."

On the other hand, virtual meetings, telemedicine and work-from-home arrangements will persist - but not for pandemic reasons, added Prof Fisher.

"It's because these have a role in our lives now and their introduction was expedited by the pandemic."

Mask mandates are useful for criminals; harder to be recognised.
