Bidirectional impact of imperfect mask use on reproduction number of COVID-19: A next generation matrix approach

1 Jan 2020

Abstract excerpt

The use of masks as a means of reducing transmission of COVID-19 outside healthcare settings has proved controversial. Masks are thought to have two modes of effect: they prevent infection with COVID-19 in wearers; and prevent transmission by individuals with subclinical infection. We used a simple next-generation matrix approach to estimate the conditions under which masks would reduce the reproduction number of...
