He noted this was a 'good habit' that should also be practised in Singapore, although netizens pointed out that the success of such instinctive behaviour lies with discipline.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who was recently in Japan, observed that the Japanese are “very, very conscientious,” particularly in wearing masks outdoors if feeling unwell.

“There is no compulsion, but there is a lot of social expectation. And I think that these are some of the instincts which we should pick up,” said Mr Lee, hoping for the public to continue wearing masks in Singapore. “The Japanese culture is trained from a young age and disciplined to care for the community. We can adopt some of the healthy lifestyles,” said Facebook user Victor Lee.
