Association between COVID-19 outcomes and mask mandates, adherence, and attitudes

Dhaval Adjodah et al.

Summary: The study shows that mask mandates are significantly associated with decreases in COVID-19 cases, deaths, and hospital admissions, as well as increased mask adherence. Reversing mask mandates leads to decreased mask adherence and an increase in new cases, with no significant effect on hospitalizations and deaths. Community mask adherence and attitudes towards masks are also linked to reductions in COVID-19 cases and deaths.

Mask use in community settings in the context of COVID-19: A systematic review of ecological data

Nathan Ford et al.

Summary: The wearing of masks in community settings is important for reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and studies using ecological data have shown that community mask policies may reduce the burden of the virus at a population level. However, methodological limitations and uncertainties exist in these studies, making it difficult to determine causality and the actual impact of mask wearing policies.

Mask-wearing and control of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the USA: a cross-sectional study

Benjamin Rader et al.

Summary: Face masks have become common in the USA due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A study investigated the association between self-reported mask-wearing, physical distancing, and SARS-CoV-2 transmission control in the USA. The research found that increased mask-wearing and physical distancing were associated with higher odds of transmission control, even without government mandates.
