“…Considering contextual factors in a world characterized by the presence of SARS-CoV-2, some publications indicated that the use of certain non-pharmacological interventions (such as social distancing, wearing face masks, and banning crowd gatherings, among others) had been shown to be effective in reducing the spread of the virus (35,36).
