Face masks must be worn in the above health settings, as well as prisons and detention centres, while on public transport and while waiting at the platform, in a taxi or rideshare vehicle and while waiting at a taxi rank or pick-up area, and on a plane.The requirement to wear masks on public transport remains.In an interview with the ABC this week, Chief Health Officer Dr John Gerrard hinted it could be soon.

"That will end when the public health emergency ends. I imagine that would end sometime in the next few weeks or couple of months," he said."Having said that, individual hospitals may still mandate masks in the hospital environment independent of the directions."Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.
