An international scientific study, in which 12 researchers from the world’s largest universities participated, revealed a shocking surprise about the ability of masks to limit the spread of the Corona virus.
International health institutions, headed by the World Health Organization, have always stressed, since the start of the spread of Corona, the need to wear a muzzle, and studies have indicated that the muzzle prevents the infected person who wears it from transmitting the infection by 85%, and the uninfected person gets 15% protection if he wears the muzzle. .
And a new scientific review revealed that widespread wearing of muzzles may have done little to reduce transmission of the Corona virus, according to “Fox News”.
The new review, titled “Physical Interventions to Stop or Limit the Spread of Respiratory Viruses”, involved 12 researchers from prestigious universities around the world.
The review, published by the Cochrane Library, looked at the results of 78 controlled trials to determine whether “physical interventions” including face masks and hand washing reduced the spread of respiratory viruses.
And when comparing the use of medical masks to not wearing masks, the review found that “wearing a mask made no significant difference in the number of people who developed an influenza-like disease such as Covid-19 disease,” according to Sky News Arabia.
The study also showed that even wearing specialized masks such as “N95” masks did not affect the avoidance of infection with corona
