We are one of the 22 countries that never had a mask requirement and you only rarely see people with masks. And we are also one of the least affected European country and frequently have days with 0 new cases and/or deaths. | |

The WHO guidelines Harper referred to elsewhere recommend non-medical mask when social-distancing can't be maintained but unless I'm missing something, not when it is. | |

They protect others from you, when you're in that Typhoid Mary stage of the disease. If everyone else stays masked, then sure, you can take yours off (but if you are sick you will infect them). But if you are around unmasked people, you are vulnerable. So if they're not wearing masks... run... | |

That's why the recommendation is a mask in addition to social distancing. Even if the indication about the room is that it is probably safe, OP still should not feel compelled to remove their mask if they don't feel comfortable doing so. | |

If you disagree with their handling of wearing masks, you have the right to not accept their offer, if it comes. And if the interviewer becomes rude about you wearing a mask, you may even consider leaving the interview early. In this case be professional, but firm that them being rude is not acceptable and the reason for you leaving early. If that burns a bridge, it might be a bridge that won't be missed. YMMV and only a suggestion. | |
