Effectiveness & awareness of wearing mask to control community spread of sars-cov2 -a questionnaire based study

Introduction: Masks should be used as part of a comprehensive strategy of measures to suppress transmission and save lives; the use of a mask alone is not sufficient to provide an adequate level of protection against SARS COV2-19.The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Coronavirus Disease (SARS COV2-19) that is a viral infection.
The majority of persons who are affected by the disease will have mild to moderate respiratory symptoms and will recover without needing any specific therapy1. Some, on the other hand, will become critically unwell and require medical assistance. People over the age of 65, as well as those with underlying medical diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, or cancer, are at a higher risk of developing serious illness3.Anybody of gender can obtain SARS COV2-19 by becoming severely ill or die. Staying at least 1 meters away from people, wearing a properly fitted mask, and washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub often are the best ways to prevent and slow it down infection. When it's your turn, get vaccinated and follow local advice. Whenever an infected individual coughs, sneezes, speaks, sing or breaths, the virus is spread in microscopic droplets from their mouth or nose. Larger respiratory droplets to smaller aerosols are among the particles.
Aim: To analyze the effectiveness & awareness of wearing mask to control Community spread of SARS-CoV2
Materials and methods: A questionnaire study was conducted among health care workers to assess the effectiveness & awareness of wearing masks. The Characteristics of survey includes age, race, household income, SARS COV2 vaccination status, health status, results of analysis for different models on mask-wearing and statistical values for various factors were analyzed.
Conclusion: Masks can prevent the spread of SARS COV2-19 in two ways: by preventing a healthy person from acquiring the disease and by preventing an infected person from spreading the disease. Besides, the mask also decreases the hand-face contacts, which prevents the infection through contaminated fomites.
Result: The justification for wearing masks has switched from patient safety to health care provider protection. Currently, there is no evidence that wearing a surgical mask provides adequate protection from all of the risks that may have been faced in an intensive health care setting; in some cases, the use of a respirator and face shield may be considered. As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spreads, one point of contention is whether or not members of the public must wear face masks. Covering the mouth to decrease pulmonary droplet spread have fundamental causes, and cough etiquette is based on these concerns rather than proof.
