Universal Masking In Schools Work; Data Shows How Well

It is kind of obvious that mask should make a difference. especially if we are talking respirator masks (N95/Ffp2/Kn95 etc) that are designed to protect the bearer from patogens like viruses. What we have sort of lacked is a real world comparison between a larger number of schools that keeps mask requirements and schools that remove mask requirements. And the result is clear: it makes a big difference. The first link is to the Time article about the NEJM published study.

Your kid’s school need better ventilation to keep Covid in check

Covid-19 is airborne. It has been known since spring 2020. Airborne viruses are dealt with using breathing protection and… efficient ventilation and air filtration.

How to improve air quality

Anyone read up on Covid and transmission/mitigation. knows that the SARS-Cov-2 virus likes to get airborne. 90%+ of transmission is airborne. This makes air quality important when it comes to protect people indoors.

Later variants have mutated enough to not show up on single gene PCR-tests. For testing to function satisfactory PCR-tests now need two gene detection.
