Confirm you can be mask free out of Hong Kong with Cathay based on my experience last weekend (and their tweets) - in the lounge, on boarding, on the plane: Of course there will be a fairly reasonable number of people voluntarily wearing masks anyway, but that is the HK way.

Masks have become a very personal thing.
Interestingly although there is no longer any requirement to ware a mask in HK at least 80% of the population still do and I suspect that many will continue to do so as in Japan where masks have been warn as a norm in the flu season and when one has a cold - this so of course so as not to infect others. This is not a recent happening as the Japanese have been waring masks since at least the mis forties.

I have noticed most FAs opt to mask up, but passengers have no such requirement. I like the system now, where the mask preference is left entirely up to the individual. Even now in Singapore, it's the same, though I've noticed the drivers on all of my taxi rides have remained masked, but there's certainly no requirement for the passenger.
PS - Even when masks were mandated, business and F, on CX anyway, pax were allowed to remove them when reclining one's seat.
