Driving car alone; no need for face mask

September 5, 2020

New Delhi: Are you driving a car alone? Are you doing exercise/ cycling alone? Then you need not wear a face mask.

This is according to a new circular issued by the Union Health Ministry here yesterday.

However, if there is more than one person in a car and group of people are exercising then wearing a mask is mandatory to avoid the spread of COVID-19.

“In the last few days, people have gained awareness of the benefits of physical activities. We have seen people are doing cycling and exercise or jogging in groups. It is mandatory for people to wear masks and follow social distancing when they are in a group while exercising or jogging, so that they do not infect each other. If a person is cycling alone, then he/she does not require to wear a mask as there is no such direction from the Health Ministry,” said Rajesh Bhushan, the Union Health Secretary.
