The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting each of our lives and the institutions in which we work and
socialize. It has changed the way we behave and how we interact with others. It has had a significant
impact on public health. More than 221,400 individuals in the U.S. (and an estimated 1,134,900
worldwide) have died because of the pandemic. Slowing the spread of COVID-19 is essential and proving to be extraordinarily challenging as it requires the participation of all of us. Several strategies have been proposed to reduce the spread of COVID-19. One such strategy recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is to wear a mask (covering your nose and mouth). Many states have mandated or strongly recommended the use of a mask when in public places. However, levels of compliance with this recommendation are unclear.
