Covid-19 crisis Time to wear a face mask
Many people criticized the ministers for stating that there was no need to wear the mask earlier and for now changing their mind.

I do not agree with the criticism.

In the early days, there was no need to wear a mask due to the low rate of infection.

When the infection rate increased, it became necessary to wear a mask.

We should make decisions based on the actual risk and not on some theoretically thinking.

We should also make our decisions based on our actual situation and not on the situations in other countries.

The risk was higher in other countries due to their climate and their rate of infection.

Now that the risk in Singapore has increased to a higher level, it is advisable to wear a mask. It may be compulsory to do so.
