Mobarak et al.: "The Impact of Community Masking on COVID-19: A Cluster-Randomized Trial in Bangladesh"

Abstract

Mask usage remains low across many parts of the world during the COVID-19 pandemic, and strategies to increase mask-wearing remain untested. Our objectives were to identify strategies that can persistently increase mask-wearing and assess the impact of increasing mask-wearing on symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections.
