- Comparison of the Filter Efficiency of Medical Nonwoven Fabrics against Three Different Microbe Aerosols – J-STAGE
- Effectiveness of Adding a Mask Recommendation to Other Public Health Measures to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Danish Mask Wearers – Annals of Internal Medicine
- the difference observed was not statistically significant The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates, some degree of social distancing, and uncommon general mask use. The data were compatible with lesser degrees of self-protection.

- Effectiveness of N95 respirators versus surgical masks in protecting health care workers from acute respiratory infection- a systematic review and meta-analysis – CMAJ
- Facemasks and similar barriers to prevent respiratory illness such as COVID-19- A rapid systematic review – medRxiv
- The evidence is not sufficiently strong to support widespread use of facemasks as a protective measure against COVID-19. However, there is enough evidence to support the use of facemasks for short periods of time by particularly vulnerable individuals when in transient higher risk situations.

- Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses. Part 1 – Face masks, eye protection and person distancing- systematic review and meta-analysis – medRxiv
- The effectiveness of surgical face masks what the literature shows – Nursing Times
- A more reliable indicator of whether surgical masks are likely to cause an SSI is to measure the infection rate. In support of discarding surgical masks for the protection of the patient, a study by Orr (1981) looked at over 1,000 patients undergoing a variety of surgery over a period of six months. According to Orr there was a significant decrease in the infection rate during the period when masks were not used.
Unnecessary
- Is a mask necessary in the operating theatre? – Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (I98I)
- No masks were worn in one operating theatre for 6 months. There was no increase in the incidence of wound infection.
- Surgical face masks in modern operating rooms—a costly and unnecessary ritual? – Journal of Hospital Infection
- Surgical face masks in modern operating rooms—a costly and unnecessary ritual? – Journal of Hospital Infection – Sci-Hub.se
- Universal Masking in Hospitals in the Covid-19 Era – NEJM
- We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.
