After all, we still have to go grocery shopping in crowded store and bumping into people continually, many that are ‘chinners’ (wearing masks to protect their chin only). These cases fall under community transmission. Not close contact, not travel, regardless of origin.
Only 30% of our cases are from close contact so it is present yes but the bigger issue is people gathering as close contact accounts for 46% of our cases so the bigger problem is people who are gathering whether or not its illegal or legal its still the larger problem and if people are wearing masks in a store you're still protected from people who aren't wearing their masks properly. It still comes down to the fact though that our cases are primarily driven by people gathering which is caused by people being feed up with the rules because they're constantly changing.
