COVID-19 Q&A: Masks make infection risk less From weekly Health Department Question and Answer public meeting. This point was explained by Stuart Spillman, Environmental Health Director, LCDHD. Question: I was in a church service with attempted social distancing but no one was wearing a mask. Someone in the church tested positive and I was told to self isolate along with most of the congregation. If everyone in the church had been wearing a mask would we have had to self isolate? I feel like that would make the difference to a lot of church members if they understood that. Answer: Yes you would still have to be quarantined; however, the risk of being infected would be a lot less. We are unable to quantify that risk, hence as a precaution quarantine is necessary. Wearing a mask and distancing helps prevent the spread of the virus and ultimately helps prevent an outbreak. You may still be considered a contact due to exposure time in a confined space, but have reduced your risk of contracting Covid.
