Masks as little as they seem to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 have been proven to be effective preventive measures in tackling the Virus.
Widespread masking helps to slow the spread of COVID,” says Dr. Aaron Carroll, a Indiana University School of Medicine professor. Carroll cautions that this was not a randomized, controlled study, and there could have been other factors at play (such as more physical distancing in social situations and fewer large gatherings) in the counties that were enforcing masks.
Still, as the study notes, the findings were consistent with declines in coronavirus cases observed in 15 states and the District of Columbia, where masks were mandated, compared with states that didn’t require the face coverings.
In states where movements are not limited, Masks, sanitizers are essential to individuals and society’s safety.
