So it looks like QR have finally “officially” removed the face mask requirement. They seem to have done it rather quietly with no press release or social media post, however, their website now clearly states that masks are optional (dependent on the destination, I presume destinations like China, India, HKG, Japan will need masks, though no definitive list provided on QR’s website)
