Wear the best mask/respirator you can, and have no stubble/beard where the mask seals against the face.
Use double masking, mask fit devices, or knot and tuck to close any gaps around the edge.

Wear warm/cool clothing as appropriate and ventilate your workspaces as much as possible.
Remember, it’s not only about whether you get infected or not, it’s also thought to be important to reduce the amount of virus that infects you. So doing these things is not a waste of time, even if you don’t believe you will escape COVID-19.
Give your immune system a head start

And of course, get vaccinated if you can, at the first available opportunity.
Why do I think disease control will return as part of the NSW state strategy.
Two main reasons.
COVID19 is not going to be easy to live with. At some point they will realise that and a long term elimination plan will be drawn up, much like TB.

At some point the lack of ability to run a normal health system with full capabilities to deliver preventative and elective medicine will get tedious.
I think a third reason, but I am not sure yet about this one, is that better vaccines and therapeutics will come forward… and they will make coronavirus infections much easier to control.
