Original Note:
COVID-19 is airborne and fomite transmission (picking it up off of surfaces) is no longer thought to be the main way people acquire the virus. Hand washing alone is ineffective vs COVID-19 – high-quality masks are far more useful against an airborne virus. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00869-2/fulltext https://mdhs.unimelb.edu.au/news-and-events/new-long-term-modelling-shows-effectiveness-of-consistent-mask-use
