Permanent Secretary for Health Doctor James Fong stresses that masking, physical distancing and ventilation are three measures that must constantly be present.
Doctor Fong adds when one of the measures becomes difficult to apply, implementation of the other two measures must be further escalated.
He says they have had inquiries from the public on further relaxation of personal covid safe measures such as masking.
Doctor Fong stresses that whatever the scenario, an effective mask must be kept close by you at all times.
He says the current masking requirement of wearing a mask that covers your nose and mouth is mandatory in all public places for everyone aged 8 and over, including in public service vehicles remains in force.
Doctor Fong adds the Ministry of Health and Medical Services has published a list of circumstances where a person is exempt from wearing a mask.
