Wearing masks reduced risk of Covid-19 infection

Women’s wearing and social distance reduces the risk of SARS-COV-2 disease. This is confirmed by the survey data conducted by the international consortium of researchers AXIOS-IPSOS. This is reported by the AXIOS edition.

Respondents who reported that they never worn masks had two times more chances to obtain a positive test result on COVID-19 than those who all the time worn the means of personal protection of the respiratory authorities. Only 11 percent of people who use masks outside the house were infected with coronavirus, and among those who did not wear masks have become infected with 23 percent.

Those who used masks were more often testing. 30 percent of people who constantly wore masks reported that they were tested on COVID-19. This share among those who did not always put on the mask used them from time to time or did not put them in general, amounted to 23, 20 and 12 percent, respectively. This indicates that the real number of infected among people who do not use masks may be higher.

The same picture has developed in relation to social distances. Only 10 percent of respondents who said that they always kept at a distance of two meters from other people, gave a positive result on COVID-19, compared with 26 percent among people who did not comply with the social distance. The share of ill among those who did not always distance themselves amounted to 12 percent, and among those who rarely – 20 percent.
