Published 14 March 2023 Interesting conclusion
"The researchers of the current study explored different scenarios that reflected the potential emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants under several interventional approaches. Expedited variant-specific vaccine boosters had little impact, regardless of the transmissibility and severity of existing and future variants.
Notably, increasing mask usage was associated with substantial reductions in infections and mortality rates, whereas mandate reimposition mildly/moderately reduced future COVID-19 burden. Combining these two interventions led to an even more significant impact than individually. Above all, the analysis showed that simple interventions, including masking and social distancing mandates, could be critical tools against COVID-19."
