Randomized Controlled TrialFace masks for the prevention of COVID-19 - Rationale and design of the randomised controlled trial DANMASK-19.
The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), progresses globally, and means to reduce the transmission are needed. In the community, the use of face masks is increasing world-wide, but documentation for the efficacy of this remedy is lacking. This trial investigates whether the use of face masks in the community will reduce wearers' risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. ⋯ This study was funded by Salling Fondene.
