It is tempting to see masks as a solution, but I doubt they are. We had quite strict mask requirements (bordering absurd, like wear the mask in the woods, being alone), and they are again required in indoor public places. Our neighbours in Latvia never required masks and hardly anyone wears them. They have just a fraction of new cases we have.
