Signs urging everyone to mask up have largely disappeared from places like grocery stores and schools in the third year of the Covid-19 pandemic. But they remain in many medical offices, and a study published Monday says they might still be a good idea.
Even after the expiration of the US public health emergency declaration and with many Americans moving away from pandemic precautions, masks continue to offer some protection, reducing your risk of catching Covid-19 in a community setting like in a close doctor and patient interaction, according to the study, which reviewed the latest science on the protective quality of masks.
Palmore and Henderson say that one of the big reasons why they think people should wear masks in health care settings is because people who work in these places, for a variety of reasons, are “notorious for coming to work while ill.” Earlier research has shown that half to two-thirds of people who work in health care settings have worked while they had some kind of respiratory symptoms.
