Face Coverings, Social Distancing Can Reduce COVID-19 Spread By 65%
- 4 years ago
Wearing a mask, social distancing, and regular handwashing could reduce the spread of COVID-19.
In fact, it could reduce the spread by as much as 65%, according to reports at UPI.
Researchers from the Netherlands also applaud government-imposed social distancing measures.
This includes closure of non-essential businesses and "stay-at-home" orders.
These moves could delay the peak of an epidemic by up to seven months.
This delay would allow the healthcare system time to prepare for efforts and treatment.
