[Reporter Lin Huiqin/Taipei Report] On the first day of the loosening of the indoor mask order, many people are still wearing tight masks today. Commander Wang Bisheng of the Central Epidemic Command Center believes that it will take some time. After all, they have been wearing masks for more than 800 days. I am used to it, and I am not so at ease about the epidemic. I expect to get used to it after 2 or 3 months, just like the early stage of the relaxation of the outdoor mask order. We will call on the public to take off their masks, but make their own decisions, wear them if you want to wear them, and don't wear them if you don't want to wear them.

The media asked, if people are required to wear masks to participate in activities, can they refuse?

Some media also asked whether the management committees of buildings and communities can request to wear masks?

Wang Bisheng mentioned that it is mainly a suggestion, but it has no mandatory force. He emphasized again that if it is not a place where the government requires wearing it, there is no room for so-called punishment.

In addition, Zhuang Renxiang, head of the community monitoring team of the command center, added that during the 7-day self-prevention period, people entering the country still need to wear masks all the time when they go out.
