Greetings,

Not wearing mask while driving attracts a penalty of Rs.500. Medical experts also point that masks should be mandatory in public spheres.

But the base of this rule comes from supreme court's rule in 2019.

In many states Mask is mandated under the guidelines of National Disaster Management Act.

Violation of such guidelines can lead to imprisonment up to 6 months or fine up to Rs.1000.

Delhi Government's Delhi Epidemic diseases under the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897 requires masks in all public spheres.

But how can a car be considered a public space?
