Use of facemasks during the COVID-19 pandemic
As of July 26, 2020, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has infected more than 16 000 000 individuals worldwide and caused over 600 000 deaths from COVID-19. Despite advances in pharmacological treatment and early vaccine development, reducing transmission of the virus with the use of facemasks (referring to medical or surgical masks, N-95 and similar respirators, cloth masks, and bandannas) by health-care workers and the public alike remains a hotly debated topic due to politicisation of discourse and decision making.
