The 'most comprehensive study to date' found that physical distance and perhaps the use of a mask were the two best ways to prevent transmission of the novel coronavirus
The"most comprehensive study to date" found that physical distance and perhaps the use of a mask were the two best ways to prevent transmission of the new coronavirus.The new study, published in the Lancet medical journal Monday, found people should stay at least three feet apart and more if possible.
The review did not, however, look at the effects of mask wearing for protecting other people, noted Oxford's Greenhalgh. She said the general public should wear a cloth mask or standard surgical mask, leaving respirator masks for health care workers.Even when properly used and combined, distancing, masks and eye protection do not offer complete protection, the study stressed, and basic measures like hand washing are essential to reduce transmission.
