Wear Masks to protect ourselves and others
I think that we should get out and about whilst maintaining social distancing measures but also wear masks. Here is an intelligent reason for wearing masks. It's not just about protecting ourselves as we know it does not do a very good job of that. It's about more than that. https://medium.com/the-atlantic/the-real-reason-to-wear-a-mask-e6405abbc484.
Why the contribution is important
It helps us protect others and the spread of the virus as a result. Countries who wear masks have been able to drastically lower their infections. It's just one simple thing that we can all do.

Why the contribution is important
I think that the wearing of face coverings/masks in appropriate situations is important because:
1. It is beneficial in preventing the spread of the virus.
2. It will publicly and visibly reinforce community commitment to a disciplined approach to emerging from the crisis.
3. It will be acknowledged by the our neighbours in Europe and the wider World as a reassurance that we are taking the threats of a "second wave" seriously and responsibly.

The WHO position remains that the use of face masks is not recommended (other than in a medical context) - amongst the reasons cited is that people are likely to adjust these and will then run the risk of contamination.
