Then take it off, thus spreading whatever is on there all over their hands then rubbing their face with there hands. Then reusing the mask. Masks can be effective, but in most cases they are not. To be fair, after several hours outside a host Covid has lost most of its infectivity. If the implication is that those particles on the outside of the mask would otherwise have landed on face/mouth it's likely still an improvement.

I do think we need to stop the constant testing & people should stay off if severe symptoms like we did with colds etc. However we need to get the autumn booster program planned & rolled out promptly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, ONS survey in England shows a decrease, which for me at least is a good indicator that we’ll be seeing the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
