Article Synopsis
- A cluster-randomized trial in rural Bangladesh assessed the impact of community-level mask distribution and promotion on SARS-CoV-2 infections, involving 600 villages and over 342,000 adults from November 2020 to April 2021.
- The study showed a significant increase in proper mask-wearing from 13.3% in control villages to 42.3% in intervention areas, indicating effective promotion strategies.
- The intervention led to a reduction in symptomatic seroprevalence, particularly among adults over 60, demonstrating that distributing and promoting masks is a scalable and effective strategy to lower COVID-19 infections.
