Short answer: Mask and washing hands is not enough for health workers. But it is for the rest of population.

So if you wear a mask and wash your hands you won’t get it?

No. Each measure count as lower risking factor. Infecting and if infected, lower viral load.

If your city have more cases, you should enforce measures.

What I suggest is get information from many sources, and check periodically.

Not health workers measures:

- Face mask & social distancing
- Prevent crows, closed zones and close contacts.
- Correct use of facemask, position, wash or renew or disinfect, depending of type and needs, and use them in closed public zones.
- Extra measures like protection glasses or screens. For example, for protect eyes from airborne transmission when not all not home people wear facemask inside closed spaces.
- In closed spaces, ventilation, use co2 tester for check vent is right.
- Extra measures like air purifier with HEPA filters.
- Oximeter and thermometer at home. This may be useful to detect earlier the possible infection.
- Higyene & Disynfect almost everything you enter your home, bleach 5% or alcohol. (Protect you hands from bleach, wash them after use)
- Leaving shoes at entrance or dysinfecting them before or at enter, spray 5% bleach to the base.
- change your clothes, to the wash, and take a shower each time enter home. I recommend this if the risk in your zone and your activities outside is medium- high risk. The complete risk is measured by the time exposed plus the time static risk.

If you are constantly infirmated and conciusly take it into account, and common sense, you should stay safe. But there is always a risk. Do everything inside your possibilities to reduce it.

It's depends of many factors. It's about 30% lower risk.

To be clear that just is my estimation at this moment.

If you need an isolated number, stick to 30%. That's seems reasonable.

Static studies are to other viruses, other viruses and animales, and some meta analysis if people adopt massive usage of facemask. It's hard to answer for an static number to individual protection.

Why do doctors and nurses get Covid and die if they always wear face masks and follow hand washing protocols?
0 ups, 4y,

That depends of many factors. They shouldn't, if they have the equipment, right protocols, information about this disease and follow it.

They are all exposed to more virus than the rest of people, so they need an special protection, to lower the viral load to safe condition in these circumstances.

They need Measures like facemask autoprotective (p100 gas mask or n95 facemask, glasses, ventilation/ air purifiers, ppe equipment, special hygiene protocols, clean zones, work 4 hours, to prevent mistakes, etc

And this is not in all health systems on the world.

The fact is you don’t know if masks are effective or not. Before politicization of the issue masks were said not to work for the public by and large. It had some benefit for coughing and sneezing people to limit the travel of the aerosolized particles. Some countries like Egypt don’t use mask and have not had a huge outbreak. Sweden I don’t believe was wearing masks and have largely recovered and are now in better shape than their locked down counterparts.

You are wrong. I do know that mask are effective. That is well known at this moment.
It's not my opinion.

What I don't know if how much exactly they protect.

Sweden: 583 deaths per million. Thats not good. 12º Worst country. USA is 8º

Egypt, at 69º, seems ok, and the people is using facemask: "Egyptians largely follow law on wearing masks, some worry about cost"
