[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2284985, member: 41816"] [S]Your link doesn't work for me[/S]. Your link has now started working for me :) and takes me to a study comparing the use of cloth face coverings and clinical face masks in hospital settings. How is this relevant to the wearing of face coverings in shops? Or other non-hospital settings? Totally different environments, level of social distancing, exposure to viral load, duration of exposure, and so on... However, the quoted conclusion that you have provided says absolutely nothing new, and is in line with what I expect everyone on this thread agrees on - of course it is important to conform with health and safety - of course it is important to keep face coverings clean, use them properly, wash them as often as necessary, and change them regularly (nothing new there) - of course failure to use common sense and basic hygiene may result in risk of increased infection (that is a real no brainer, isn't it?) - and of course health care workers should be using the medically approved masks (nothing new there, either) I am very interested to see that the decline in cases in England has levelled off, and may be starting to rise again. Time (and the Worldometer graphs) will tell. We were warned, from the very start, in the earliest UK press conferences, that different measures would be introduced at different times to control the spread. Masks and face coverings are just measure that may be used, just as social distancing is another, and contact tracing another. ed. for clarity and grammar [/QUOTE]
