I don't but some people still do in public (outdoors) and I saw a person wearing one in their car (with nobody else in the car) a few days ago. All Gp clinics still demand that everyone wears a mask, but now the WHO has canned it's official world health emergency determination I might start refusing if/when I need to go see a GP or visit a hospital.

@zonavar68 last I time visited a hospital ( x Ray) the operator said latest guidance was masks ‘ trap carbon dioxide ‘ and they were no longer recommended.

@devonman If you enter the main hospital for Newcastle NSW you get told to wear a mask or security gets called and you get ejected (unless you have a legitimate health emergency). All GP clinics require all staff and patients to wear masks. But nowhere else does.

@zonavar68 No longer have to in UK
Some clinicians now thinking mask wearing was ‘ Ill advised ‘
Also so many people were exempt , it was a joke and it never enforced here.

@devonman I never used them outdoors or in my own vehicles (regardless if just me or I had others with me). In fact I just threw my cloth masks out a few weeks ago as they'd been unused for over 12 months.
