Before the pandemic hit, we were no strangers to wearing a mask.  Until the pandemic arrived, we were able to avoid it for the most part.  This is a mask-wearing culture.  They wear them to avoid illness or to help with seasonal allergies.  It was only natural that there was no resistance when the mask-wearing requirement came down from the government.  We are guests in this country, so we comply as much as possible.  The youtube video posted here gives you a glimpse of what the last two and half years have been like for us as foreigners living here.  We appreciate your prayers.  We are thankful for the opportunity to serve here and will do whatever is required in this current climate for the sake of the gospel.
