This article is about masks. Hand hygiene and not touching your face are still recommended.
The masks provides a physical barrier to touching the nose or mouth. Viruses don’t infect you from the side of the face. They don’t protect you from touching your eyes.
The masks provide a reminder not to touch the face.
Not sure about gloves. The virus isn’t going to infect your hand. It’s going to infect a body opening when you touch the opening with your hand or gloved hand.
It makes no difference what the article is about. Masks are useless because hands are the prime vector. You can talk all day about washing your hands but no one can keep from touching their face, rubbing their eyes, nose or ears. And since this “article” is about asymptomatic carriers of the virus then washing your hands is 100% useless.
Infect a hand? Your hands spread the virus to every surface they touch. If you're asymptomatic and have the virus you don't even have to touch your face to have virus on your hands. They're coming out of every pore on your body.
