Are these covid safety guidelines actually effective?

So my club got new covid-19 guidelines from the highland dance association for staying safe in competitions but I just don't think they work. Before we start backstage with masks on we have to stand one behind the other and then climb the steps to the stage. Then we all climb the steps in unison. If you see the pictures you can see that girls and boys have different outfits but the 'mask procedure' is also different based on gender. So when girls climb on stage we first hold out our arm so we're not touching the dancer in front then we turn to face the audience. Then we take off our masks and it over three times. Then we crouch down and with the left knee touching the right knee. Then we have to put the folded mask into our right sock and then stand back up. Place our hands in the air before the music starts and smile. For boys they walk on stage. Raise their leg to waist height to make sure they are distanced then do a turn to face the crowd. Walk three steps forward on stage. Take off mask. Crouch down while pressing the front of their kilt and spreading their knees. Then they place the mask on stage before turning again. Walking back three steps. Turning to face the crowd and then getting ready to dance. Once we finish dancing girls must crouch down, take the mask out of our sock, stand up and stretch out our hands while unfolding the mask. Put it on. Then boys take steps forward. Crouch like before to pick up mask and put it on. Then we all walk off stage together. My problem is it would probably be safer to keep the mask on the whole time but we could be disqualified if we don't follow this procedure. Do you think this method is safe. Below are the outfits we wear but keep in mind neither of these people are me

Yes they are effective if everyone is following them.

@JaggedLittlePill even though we dance without them?

@Soph03 You should be dancing WITH THEM.


Covid is airborne. It spreads through the air. It doesn't care about what you think works and does not work.
