With Covid, flu and other respiratory viruses spreading like wildfire throughout society, numerous health officials and experts have advocated for a return to mask-wearing in the UK – especially when feeling unwell.
Since the emergence of Covid, there have been countless research papers supporting and dismissing the benefits of wearing a mask.
The largest and most comprehensive study on mask effectiveness, published in December 2021, demonstrated that wearing masks does reduce Covid transmission.
Researchers from numerous American universities and health organisations recruited over 340,000 adults in 600 villages in Bangladesh. The trial resulted in a 30 per cent increase in mask-wearing and demonstrated a nine per cent reduction in Covid-19.
