Situation and the circumstances are such that anybody daring to let go of the guard by discarding the face cover would be jeopardizing safety and health concerns around them.  Concerted efforts undertaken by the Government appear to have borne fruit going by the look of things.

Introspectively speaking, none would have envisaged a situation like this where covering faces would become a new norm and might continue to remain so for some more time to come.  Happy covering!
