A study, published in Nature Communications, aimed to clarify the transmission route, clinical features and outcomes of neonatal (newborns under 28 days old) COVID-19 infections.
The study, conducted by the Department of Defense in partnership with United Airlines , onboard a Boeing 777 and 767 aircraft showed that masks helped minimize exposure to infection when someone coughed including those seated close by.
A study published this week in JAMA suggests that “Official tallies of deaths due to COVID-19 underestimate the full increase in deaths associated with the pandemic in many states”.
