This is a 4,800-person randomized trial that took place in the spring and early summer in Denmark. The trial was run at a time where most Danes did not wear masks when they left their house. It told participants to practice social distancing and randomly assigned them with the advice to wear a mask (and even gave them 50 surgical masks), advising them to change it after every 8 hours of use, or gave them no advice to wear mask, and followed them to see how many acquired SARS-CoV-2 by PCR or antibody testing. The answer was a nearly identical proportion -- 42 of 2,393 people (1.8%) in the mask group and 53 of 2,470 (2.1%) in the no-mask group. The difference was not statistically significant.

    At last, the paper, thanks.

    The study is carefully worded, problems and limitations are mentioned.

    What I get out of it that if you want to wear a mask, go ahead. It could be effective but the study has not concluded that.
    If you do not want to wear a mask, the study does not confirm any extra risk.

    My conclusion from that study- Don't bother.

    What is it these people don't understand. Our Constitution states plainly there shall be no interference in religion yet they authorize strip clubs and prohibit church going. who do they think they are?
