Current challenges and future solutions 2020-07-16 .txt text/plain 844 53 49 Overall, HCP compliance with protective measures such as universal masking often correlates with the level of risk they perceive. Earlier this year, public health authorities pointed out a lack of evidence related to the use of universal masking by the general public to prevent acquisition of SARS-CoV-2. Inconsistent, contradictory and unclear advice from public health authorities has contributed to widespread confusion about the utility of universal masking in preventing the spread of SARS-COV-2 (response efficacy). COVID-19 fatigue, a term that describes drift in following preventative measures as this pandemic goes on, is an important cause of poor compliance with policies related to universal masking. Finally, we need clear, simple, and consistent messaging from public health authorities for successful implementation of universal masking policies. Our goal should be to focus on the simple message of universal masking to prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. ./cache/cord-298693-x25r0gtt.txt ./txt/cord-298693-x25r0gtt.txt
