Article Synopsis
  • Despite global efforts to control COVID-19, transmission remains high, and many countries, including Japan, have relaxed mask-wearing mandates since February 2023.
  • A mathematical model was developed to assess the impact of declining mask-wearing rates on COVID-19 incidence in Tokyo, revealing that coverage fell from 97% to 69% by October 2023.
  • The findings suggest that continued mask recommendations could have saved 427 lives, with a significant risk of increased deaths if mask usage drops further, highlighting the importance of such measures in managing future pandemics.
