- COVID-19 infection could be prevented on a large scale if the people follow this rule consistently. According to this study, highly effective face masks, such as surgical masks (with an estimated efficacy of about 70 per cent), could have been reduced by 70 per cent of people in public places, (reducing the outbreak of this global epidemic). The study also said that frequent covering of the mouth with everyday clothes could reduce the rate of infection.
- The study, published in the journal Physics of Fluids, assessed studies conducted on 'face masks' and looked at whether these reduce the number of times an infected person infects other people. According to reports, the researchers of this study also included Sanjay Kumar of 'National University of Singapore'.
