Masks for prevention of COVID-19 in community and healthcare settings / authors, Roger Chou, Tracy Dana, Rebecca Jungbauer, Chandler Weeks, Marian S. McDonagh

Currently, no proven treatments are available for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease caused by infection with the novel (new) coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, clinicians and policymakers advise preventive measures. This rapid review addresses the comparative effectiveness of various types of facemasks in the community and in healthcare workers (HCWs) for prevention of infection with SARS-CoV-2 and the effectiveness and safety of mask reuse. Given this rapidly emerging field and the urgent need for answers, the AHRQ Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) Program will update this report as new evidence becomes available..
