If these masks are working why are the positive cases rising?

Not everyone wears them or wears them correctly. Masks protect others from you more than protecting you, so if others don’t wear them you’re at risk. You’re right on disposal. Put them in the dustbin. The strings need to be cut to avoid animals and birds choking on them.

Cases are rising in part because we are testing many more people and because younger people are ignoring rules partying, because schools and universities are back and more.
