Lone car drivers need not wear a mask while driving the car, the Health Ministry has clarified. So is true for those who are cycling or jogging alone.
“The Health Ministry has not issued any instruction regarding a person travelling alone in the car wearing a mask. Similarly there is no directive regarding the necessity of people who are cycling or jogging or doing physical exercises alone wearing a mask,” said Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan during a press conference here on Thursday.
The question came up because there were instances of single car occupants challaned for not wearing the mask while on the road.
