[QUOTE="Tannith, post: 2297965, member: 422465"] [SIZE=6][B]Masks block spread of Covid-linked droplets[/B][/SIZE] People who wear a face mask significantly lower the risk of spreading Covid-19 to others through speaking and coughing, research suggests. Speaking and coughing without face protection exposes people nearby to virus-laden droplets that would otherwise be stopped by wearing a mask, the study shows. Someone standing two metres from a coughing person who has no mask is exposed to 10,000 times more droplets than someone half a metre from a coughing person who is wearing one, the researchers found.
