Despite the risk of facemasks to lessen SARS-CoV-2 transmission

Another human ingredient that may reduce facemask adoption in Western countries is cultural, for the reason that usage of facemasks just isn’t common in public areas, or there’s an implication that this facemask wearer considers others as a threat. In the current emergency, however, it’s important to alter this view, which could be achieved if your message conveyed with a facemask was ‘my face mask protects you, your facemask protects me’. Indeed, it can be probable that making facemasks into fashion items may be another path to changing the culture surrounding facemask use in public areas. A further positive effect using this cultural change is always to reinforce the message that it’s important to stick with a good distance from one another. This educational message could possibly be conveyed easily by the government and popular press.

In Hong Kong, 99% of survey respondents reported wearing facemasks when outside of their property [67].

Conclusion 

There won’t seem any target investing efforts in properly designed studies on facemasks, or evaluating large populations including ‘at risk’ patients and in a variety of communities. We believe that these are required urgently, and our modelling framework can readily be adapted to incorporate any new data that become available.
