Indoor mask wearing is advised in the following situations:
- When you have suspected symptoms of COVID-19, such as a fever, cough, sore throat, etc.
- When there is a lot of droplets generated by shouting, chorusing, talking in a crowded situation
- If you fall under a high-risk group for COVID-19 or have close contact with someone in a high-risk group
*High-risk group: The elderly, those with weakened immune system, chronic respiratory patients, unvaccinated people, etc.
