New research details just how much distancing, mask-wearing and handwashing can reduce an individual's risk of contracting COVID-19

These have been the three main tenets of public health advice aimed at stopping the spread of the coronavirus for months now, dating back to when Canada was still facing its first wave of infections., and Canada's number of active COVID-19 cases doubling in less than a month, they've once again been trotted out as the best advice there is for day-to-day safety.

All of the cases studied were asymptomatic, meaning those around them had no reason to be taking any precautions beyond what they were normally doing when out and about. All 1,050 individuals were asked about which personal hygiene measures they were practising at the time they were exposed to the asymptomatic carriers.

Wearing masks during all contact with the carrier reduced the infection risk by 77 per cent. There was no proof, however, that wearing masks for only some of the contact made any difference at all.

most aware this is now criminal Drs around the world reached over 1.3M, more CANADIAN Drs are speaking out. Dr. Phillips, a Front Line Doctor who works in LTC. First hand, he knows the damages we are inflicting on those we love with our Gov's COVID rules

Then shouldn’t the numbers be down? Your crazy to report such BS. Stop trying to install fear in people. You are the pandemic

Someone should tell Dr. Henry. Maybe she could make mask mandatory.

So why am I in a classroom with 30 kids who don't distance and have no masks?

FACT: you are more likely to be shot to death in John story’s Toronto than die from the pandemic.

Ok, I think we know now what we have to do to prevent getting the virus. But does it have to be repeated when we are on transit/shopping. It's so annoying.

What a bunch of god damned liar & traitors! That's okay, Cdns are coming for YOU, soon!

Mathematically,masks have been proven to increase illness in healthcare workers(in July 20%of all covid cases in CAN were in healthcare workers),are unable to trap particles smaller than 0.3microns,covid is 0.125 microns. SM is censoring this article, link in images.

It seems if the numbers are up some of the recommendations don't work. Washing hands and distance work for sure but masks I am not sure.

Take a shower or bath and change your clothes instead when you get home

This is common sense.

Can you explain how China has less cases than other countries how about you look into that

its not working

Cool, that's stating, agreeing being the top 2 Global common denominators for the spreading of Covid-19, the 3rd is the problem! You got this! Right?

Wow really when did this start ? Someone should have said something!

Catching Covid 19 is what gives you the Immunity that's you want! How about doing a report on Sweden?

Bullshit

then why are cases going up?

Yeah that’s why there’s a second wave after beating it without masks. Who’s your researchers? Fire them immediately and hire anyone living in reality. You are fake news

Good open the economy

Same as the seasonal flu

I wish there were more restrictions for something no more deadly then the flu. Love restrictions!

No comment on the casinos opening up tomorrow? Or is that tomorrows story to instill the anger and fear into people? All governments are a bloody joke!

Odd the government does not mention that cell phones are more filthy than a local dump. Why not tell us to leave them at home? Perhaps government wants track and Trace China style.

And vitamin d&c and exercise

Masks don't

Really!? Why are cases drastically up since the mask mandates?

Now govt needs to be sticker with clubs, banquet halls and restaurants heading into fall/winter. At the same time, JT liberals need to provide support to owners and workers to help get over the hump

Actually only hand washing has been definitively proven to cut risk of viral infections but yo; go off

A lot of us are doing this and have been for months especially the seniors. It is the responsibility of each and everyone of us is to make sure we do not get COVID. Not up to government. They are responsible for the guidelines and making sure there is PPE.

So does not breathing. I guess I’ll need to become a robot...with a muzzle/mask.

With the exception of Quebec and Ontario

Then why are the case numbers skyrocketing everywhere Sorry CTV I'm calling BS on this one!

Hey CTV. Are you ever going to report the actual news or just keep trying to brainwash us?

Thanks for the reminder.

So does living in space 😎

But: The Ontario Government made little investment to reduce class sizes. Placing more than 15 students in most classrooms means ‘social distancing’ cannot happen. Crowded classrooms results in ‘Students becoming super-spreaders’ Other preventative measures cannot defeat crowding

Seems so simple, yet...

4UWell ‼️

They knew this 100 years ago . This is the exact thing they told us when the virus first showed up !!! , been preaching it but idiots just won't listen so it will run its course and could kill millions .

Turns out they had also eaten eggs, bacon and buttered toast at least twice in the preceding 2 months. A Canadian breakfast is now being touted as the miracle vaccine.

I’ll go with the nearly 40 years of PEER REVIEWED science that says you’re full of shit, thanks.

Or Just QUARANTINED Longer, KEEP Business's CLOSED Longer this Time. Run The Ferries like The Border,and NO Planes in,and Out of B.C. because just Look at B.C. Now because of them GREEDY,CROOKED Governments of B.C.👎👎👎👎👎👎

Cdnpoli polCan For reasons unknown Trudeau & Tam missed the tried & true methods of controlling airborne coronavirus & minimizing complications in favor of shutting down the economy & wasting 1/2 $Trillion!

So would confirming intel from November, taking scientific action instead of following imperial college modelling, shutting down the economy, closing Parliament, mask mandate when Gompertz curve flattened and continuing PCR false positive testing while deaths flatline! Sweden!

Current Canadian Death Curve. What is Sweden’s like seeing they never locked down or closed their schools?

Is this the beginning of you farleft lunatics backing away from lockdowns and more jobs loses?

Keep it up CTV! You keep waking up the sheep! I love it!

Apparently, if you make extended eye contact with anyone, it can also cause covid. Wear blinders.

My Apple Watch detects when I’m washing my hands and let’s me know when I’ve washed them for 20 seconds.

CTV News promotes 'fake' research. This is not science, 'fake' or otherwise!!! It is a research paper with 'cherry picked' data to show the intended results. Forget about it!!!

Totally explains the higher infection rate among conservative politicians worldwide.

Some great science!!! Wer should publish this work immediately cause anecdotal evidence is the pinnacle of science!!!
