There's no point unless the majority of the population uses them, and people don't with so few cases as we have had so far. As I said, most will probably change their behavior if/when the number of cases sharply increases, myself included. Otherwise no one bothers. One of the reasons is that we are used to various respiratory infections that occur in our climate (as opposed to people living in warmer parts of the world). No one here wears a mask or uses sanitizers because of the flu either, which is very common in autumn and winter. Yes, we know in theory that Covid is potentially more lethal than the flu, but it has not shown its hand in real life so far. So most people aren't particularly afraid of it.
