Study: Colleges can prevent 96 pc of COVID-19 infections with common measures ANI | Updated: Jan 13, 2021 17:02 IST
Washington [US], January 13 (ANI): The combined effectiveness of three COVID-prevention strategies on college campuses mask-wearing, social distancing, and routine testing are as effective in preventing coronavirus infections as the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to a new study.
The study was co-authored by a Case Western Reserve University researcher.
The research, published in Annals of Internal Medicine, has immediate significance as college semesters are poised to start again and as the distribution of approved vaccines lags behind goals.
