Probably because the majority of people do not understand the difference between 'infectious' and 'contagious' Many people have not understood the need for isolation and, if they read that notice, they would take it that the instructions being given no longer apply.

COVID-19 is a contagious disease which is spread by direct contact with a person or something they may have touched.
It is not an infectious disease which is transmitted through the environment.

The COVID19 virus is spread by people coughing or sneezing in close proximity to others.
People are infected by breathing in the resultant airborne viral infection through their eyes, nose or mouth, hence the protective face masks.

I read in the news that three Chinese families caught the virus from the toilet flushing system in their apartment block map, no masks in the world would prevent that.

Bollox. I could quote reams of the best scientific and medical advice saying that face masks offer no protection to the wearer, but 'might' in some small way help prevent someone passing it on, but I really can't be arsed.

If it's spread by coughing and sneezing in close proximity then social distancing sorts that one, as it seems to have done anyway, the virus was all but eradicated long before anyone was ordered to muzzle up.
