I hope this is not going off piste but without getting into the debate of masks there is an emphasis on handwashing, handwashing handwashing. We were advised by some leading scientist and the PM to avoid touching our faces as much as possible and to wash our hands for the time it takes to sing happy birthday. The virus, we were told, can makes it's way through mouth, nose and EYES.
That's exactly right - and it's why the mask should stay on once it's on, not constantly touched and pulled up/down. If you need to remove it only touch the ear loops. And wearing it pulled down under your nose or pulling it on/off to speak doesn't count, either. Wearing a mask is only half of the equation - wearing it properly is the other half, and it's not rocket science to do so.
And of course wash wash wash your hands, plus use sanitizer when washing isn't possible!
End of sermon.
