A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that was released in September is gaining attention after being resurfaced by the right-wing news outlet The Federalist for its finding that that majority or coronavirus-infected people examined wore masks.
The study examined 154 case-patients who tested positive for coronavirus and compared them to a comparison group of 160 individuals who were symptomatic but tested negative for the virus.
“In the 14 days before illness onset, 71% of case-patients and 74% of control participants reported always using cloth face coverings or other mask types when in public,” the report read.
“In addition, over 14 percent of the case-patients said they ‘often’ wore a face covering and were still infected with the virus,” The Federalist noted.
