The coming Monday, the 30th, following the Lunar New Year holiday.
You can take off your mask even indoors, such as restaurants, schools, and supermarkets.
In October 2020, it has been 27 months since wearing a mask was mandatory.
The quarantine authorities have been looking at four indicators so far.
The epidemic situation, the scale of serious illness or death, and the availability of beds and additional vaccination rates.
It was said that if only two of these are met, the indoor mask duty will be lifted, but the conditions are complete.

“About one or three out of four evaluation indicators for adjusting the duty of indoor masks are achieved…”
The government also considered a plan to lift the obligation to wear an indoor mask from the 1st of next month for reasons such as publicity time, but it was reported that opinions were gathered on the 30th during the discussion process.
The Central Disaster Prevention Headquarters plans to hold a meeting this morning to finalize and announce this policy.
However, it is not possible to take off the mask everywhere indoors.
Public transportation, welfare facilities, and medical institutions are excluded.
These places are expected to be decided following watching the corona epidemic situation for a while.
In addition, the infectious disease grade and the 7-day quarantine for confirmed patients will remain the same.
