Mask requirement by country (May 2023)

16 comments
  1. Is a pharmacy a healthcare facility? Because if yes, then it’s not 100% correct, because since May 1st there is no need to wear masks in pharmacies in Poland. Although… for the last couple of months I barely saw anyone wearing a mask, nobody really complied anymore, each time there were some news about having to wear masks in pharmacies for a little bit longer, I was like “yeah, sure, as if people were wearing them”.

  2. ~~UK~~ Scotland (health is devolved) should be orange. Masks are still mandatory for healthcare.

    At least, that is what my dentist tells me.

  3. Although there is no national rule in Turkey, some hospitals still require masks. However, I have never been exposed to a mask requirement outside of hospitals.

  4. Remember that time tabloids were saying we should wear them while having sex or even sitting in the house alone, crazy bastards.

  5. Masks should be mandatory in healthcare facilities for visitors/short term patients.

    Like I get why a nurse who is constantly walking around all the day wouldn’t wear a mask unless they were operating or something, and I get why someone who is bedridden and spends all day in the hospital wouldn’t either.

    But why shouldn’t a healthy person who is just visiting or just having a checkup not wear one?

  6. I’ve been to a public hospital in Italy yesterday, masks are *not* mandatory. It is advised to wear them if you are coughing.
