Our School conducted a local telephone survey among 1,000 adults who used face masks in April, 2020. The survey aimed to have a thorough understanding of their use of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings of the study showed that 35% of the respondents said that they reused face masks and used each face mask for 2.5 days on average. It was obvious that the group aged 60 or over reused face masks more frequently than the younger age group. Below is the relevant newspaper coverage.
