A recent study published in the medical journal the Lancet states that the port of the mask, and the respect distances social are the barriers to the most effective in limiting the risk of acquiring the covid-19.
Our life will never be the same after the déconfinement. We should adopt now new habits and new reflexes to protect us against the virus of the Covid-19, which is still circulating in the world.
According to a new study published in The Lancet this Monday, 1st June, the use of a mask of protection (in closed environments) and adherence to a physical distance of at least one metre, are the two elements that are the most effective interventions for reducing the transmission of the virus.
Wearing a mask decreases the risk of transmission of 85% and a distance of 1 metre 80%
The researchers analyzed 172 studies in 16 different countries on six continents have come to the conclusion that the probability of transmission to a distance of less than 1 meter up to 12,8%, decreases when the distance increases. It goes to 2.6% for a distance greater than one metre. According to the researchers, a distance of two metres could prove even more effective as a bulwark.
For what is the effectiveness of the protective mask, the risk of transmission, which reached a high of 17.4% without a mask is reduced to 3.1% with a mask. Scientists argue, however, that “remain on average at 1 meter from other people seems to reduce by 80% your chances of catching Covid-19. The wearing of a mask or a cover-face appears to reduce it, up to 85%. And the wearing of safety glasses or a face shield seems to reduce up to 78% “said Trish Greenhalgh, professor of primary health care at the University of Oxford.
