Simulation Study Suggests Masks Can Become More Effective When Fewer People Wear Them

The Relationship Between Mask Effectiveness and Population Coverage Rates Background and Research Motivation During the COVID-19 pandemic, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as social distancing, mask-wearing, and test-trace-isolate strategies were widely applied to control the spread of the virus. Despite a large body of empirical resear...
