A new major study has found that consistent mask-wearers may have a higher incidence of COVID-19, with face mask wearers being up to 40 percent more likely to report a COVID-19 infection. This contradicts the previous belief in the effectiveness of face masks, as uncertainty around their effectiveness in community settings persists.
