口罩最初的用途是帮助保护手术伤口免受工作人员产生的鼻腔和口腔细菌的侵害。目前，全球各国政府已制定强制使用口罩及其他面部覆盖物的规定，因此口罩在人们频繁且不可避免地密切接触的情况下得到更广泛的使用，尤其是在公共交通设施、购物中心及工作场所内，以应对COVID-19。我们进行了一项快速审查，以调查口罩的使用对控制呼吸道病毒感染传播的影响。根据系统性综述和荟萃分析的首选报告项目指南进行快速审查。使用预定义的检索词检索了5个电子数据库（CINAHL、Embase、Medline、PsycINFO和Global Health），从数据库建立至今。我们纳入了任何设计的所有研究，并使用描述性分析报告检索结果的汇总统计。数据提取包括样本特征、研究设计、呼吸道病毒控制、使用的口罩类型及其有效性。84项研究中有58项符合纳入标准，其中13项为系统评价，45项为定量研究（包括随机对照试验、回顾性队列研究、病例对照、横断面、调查、观察性和描述性研究）。N = 27项研究在佩戴口罩的医护人员中进行，n = 19项研究在一般人群中进行，n = 9项研究在医护人员、一般人群和佩戴口罩的患者中进行，n = 3项研究仅在患者中进行。口罩的使用在预防包括COVID-19在内的呼吸道病毒传播方面显示出巨大的潜力。无论是哪种类型、环境或谁戴口罩，它主要起到双重预防作用：保护自己免受病毒感染，保护他人。因此，如果每个人都在公共场合戴口罩，就可以为COVID-19的传播提供双重屏障。
The original use of face masks was to help protect surgical wounds from staff-generated nasal and oral bacteria. Currently governments across the world have instituted the mandatory use of masks and other face coverings so that face masks now find much broader usage in situations where close contact of people is frequent and inevitable, particularly inside public transport facilities, shopping malls and workplaces in response to the COVID-19. We conducted a rapid review to investigate the impact face mask use has had in controlling transmission of respiratory viral infections. A rapid review was conducted in line with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidance. Five electronic databases (CINAHL, Embase, Medline, PsycINFO and Global Health) were searched from database inception to date, using pre-defined search terms. We included all studies of any design and used descriptive analysis to report summary statistics of search results. Data were extracted including sample characteristics, study design, respiratory virus being controlled, type of face masks used and their effectiveness. 58 out of 84 studies met the inclusion criteria, of which 13 were classified as systematic reviews and 45 were quantitative studies (comprising randomised controlled trials, retrospective cohort studies, case control, cross-sectional, surveys, observational and descriptive studies). N = 27 studies were conducted amongst healthcare workers wearing face masks, n = 19 studies among the general population, n = 9 studies among healthcare workers the general population and patients wearing masks, and n = 3 among only patients. Face masks use have shown a great potential for preventing respiratory virus transmission including COVID-19. Regardless of the type, setting, or who wears the face mask, it serves primarily a dual preventive purpose; protecting oneself from getting viral infection and protecting others. Therefore, if everyone wears a face mask in public, it offers a double barrier against COVID-19 transmission.
