What about mask removal?

Many people still are not wearing mask properly. While  most people have mask on their chin. Even after vaccination, the risk of corona is not completely gone. Therefore, it is necessary to use a mask. It does not seem possible for the government to consider mask removal at present. If you also use the mask permanently, the coronavirus can be completely eliminated.
