Very important study. Coronavirus came UK 'on at least >1,356 separate occasions (likely underestimate) 0.08% (~10) from China. Closing borders has to be either very targeted & smart (impossible in early stages pandemic) or absolute to have any real impact https://t.co/CLXCXj6aA2

Study suggests that if enough people wear masks, R can drop below 1. I’m skeptical that masks alone can achieve this, but they don’t need to. Masks are only one tool. So wear masks, but please do all the other stuff (test and trace) too!https://t.co/BArHa5S8sm
