In Singapore, it is compulsory to wear a face mask outside the home. Face masks must be worn:
- On public transport, in taxis, and in private hire cars.
- When walking to or at markets.
- At all workplace premises for essential workers.

Masks can only be removed when engaging in strenuous outdoor exercise, such as running and jogging. Non-compliance is penalized; first-time offenders can be fined up to S\$300, and repeat offenders can face higher fines or prosecution in court.

Although the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initially warned against face mask usage by non-medical personnel, its April 2020 guidelines recommended mask usage in social settings, particularly when social distancing is difficult or when indoors. There are no national mandates for non-medical face masks in the United States; instead, legislation and enforcement have been delegated to state, county, and local governments.
