    Study from large hospital system in MA finds masking the patients, too, significantly helped. "It was only after the universal masking policy had been in operation for approximately a week that the temporal trend in positivity of SARS-CoV-2 testing among HCWs declined."pic.twitter.com/2lCyyT8yF8

        A study of an outbreak in Switzerland finds that only those with plastic face-shields were infected, and everyone wearing masks was protected. Face shields may still help with source control, but masks may well also be protecting the wearer to some degree. https://www.thelocal.ch/20200715/only-those-with-plastic-visors-were-infected-swiss-government-warns-against-face-shields …pic.twitter.com/dG7tNPKm00

        Here's the link to the JAMA paper on universal masking (patients, too, not just the HCWs) brought down infection rates. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2768532 …

        Am I the only one who thought all hospital patients were wearing masks already?

        Patients, too, and all staff at all times. Also this transition happened in March.

        That makes sense! I always have my kids wrap a scarf around their nose and mouth when they are sick and that has kept the rest of the house healthy.
