Máscaras de tecido em locais públicos: intervenção essencial na prevenção da COVID-19 no Brasil

Abstract: Resumo Acumulam-se evidências de que o uso de máscaras é uma medida indispensável de proteção à COVID-19, devido ao alto poder de transmissão do novo coronavírus por via respiratória, inclusive por indivíduos assintomáticos. Por sua vez, o uso das máscaras de tecido em locais públicos tem se consolidado como medida adicional de proteção às medidas de distanciamento social e higienização das mãos. Objetivou-se sistematizar as evidências científicas que justificam o amplo uso de máscaras de tecido como prevenção… Show more

“…So, for the few Durban respondents that did dispose of their masks, they were able to do so efficiently with their bagged household waste. Surely much is still to be written on the efficacy of different mask typologies, and there already has been some scholarship on the value of cloth masks in Global South spaces [ 29 , 40 ] however, from a waste management perspective, this study suggests that more widespread usage of cloth face coverings may help to reduce the waste management and disposal burden, especially in the short term, while minimising localised risk from discarded disposable masks.…”

“…Moreover, the use of masks could be beneficial to those individuals who still need to use public transport, such as buses, trains, and/or subways, which are often crowded [21,[32][33][34]. The use of masks, especially woven ones, is extremely relevant as an additional protective measure for reducing the increasing number of cases and deaths due to COVID-19 in Brazil [12]. Statistically significant results (p = 0.02 and p = 0.01, respectively) were obtained on comparing Ct values between swabs and masks from men and women.…”

“…The surgical mask (nonwoven mask) had a greater filtration efficiency for viral aerosols; however, the filtration efficiency was inferior to that of an N95 mask [8][9][10][11]. With the worsening of the pandemic in some countries, especially the developing ones, countries have suffered from the non-availability of surgical masks [8,12,13]. As a great alternative, homemade fabric masks have become very popular in several affected countries, mainly in Brazil [14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…Em estudo realizado por Ortelan e colaboradores 18 em 2021, concluiu-se que existe eficácia no uso das máscaras de tecido em conjunto com outras medidas, como o distanciamento social e a higienização correta das mãos, para contribuir para a redução da velocidade de transmissão do SARS-CoV-2. A máscara também representa uma alternativa mais econômica e acessível para a população, fato extremamente relevante quando se considera o perfil socioeconômico da população assistida pela USF.…”
