Compulsory face mask policies do not affect community mobility patterns

Dunaiski, Maurice; Kovacs, Roxanne J.; and Tukiainen, Janne (2020) Compulsory face mask policies do not affect community mobility patterns [['eprint_typename_blog_post' not defined]]

Copy

Face masks are now compulsory on public transport in the UK, but there are fears that wearing them encourages people to feel invincible and move around more. Maurice Dunaiski (LSE), Roxanne Kovacs (LSHTM) and Janne Tukiainen (University of Turku and VATT Institute for Economic Research) look at the effect of compulsory face mask policies in Germany, and find they decrease mobility in the very short term, with no detectable longer-term effects.
