Prior to the pandemic, the use of face masks and other PPE in hospitals with RSV patients was shown to greatly reduce transmission of the virus. The low levels of flu and RSV in the winter of 2020, Marr says, also points to the impact of safety measures on their spread, as pediatric doctors noted at the time.

According to Marr, you should wear a mask if you’re in crowded indoor environments, where lots of people are sharing the air. “If you take it off to eat in a crowded restaurant, though, it won’t really help protect you.”

By Marr’s definition, a crowded indoor space can include a dining or living room, even if you have just 10 people gathered together. “If someone is sick with the flu or COVID, the poor ventilation in our homes makes it more likely that the virus can build up in the air and infect others,” she says. But there are other options when it comes to clearing the air of viruses. Cracking a window and turning on the exhaust fan in your kitchen or bathroom will help pull cleaner, virus-free outdoor air into your home. If you’re really concerned, a portable air cleaner with a HEPA filter can remove virus particles, too.

Mask wearing has been the subject of several studies since the COVID-19 outbreak. Initially, researchers found that the use of masks could lower the risk of COVID infection by up to 70 percent. More recent studies, though, have suggested their effectiveness is more likely around 19 percent, after controlling for other factors–in the beginning, the people who wore masks may also have been more vigilant when it came to social distancing and handwashing, for example, making their risk lower anyway. While new strains have emerged that have not been the focus of mask-wearing studies, Virginia Tech’s Linsey Marr says findings should still apply as the transmission method hasn’t changed from the original SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Marr, an influenza and aerosol-spread researcher, points out that other experts have found a 10- to 20-percent reduction in flu transmission when people wear masks. “However, it’s very likely that an individual can achieve much greater protection if they are vigilant about wearing a well-fitting, high-quality mask–these being the KN95, N95, and KF94 type masks,” she says.

“First and foremost, vaccination is the best defense in the prevention of influenza and COVID-19,” Jose Romero, the director of CDC National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told media at a telebriefing earlier this month. Though there is no RSV shot for the public, the CDC has confirmed there are immunizations and other prevention products under development.

“People should also practice everyday preventive measures,” said Romero. This means doing all the things we did in the height of the pandemic: washing hands regularly, using alcohol gels, staying away from people who are ill, and practicing good cough etiquette; covering your coughs and sneezes. “[And you] may also choose to wear a well fitting mask as an added precaution.”

In advance of holiday travel and family gatherings, “it’s important to take steps now to prevent respiratory disease, especially in people who are at higher risk of developing severe complications,” CDC spokeswoman Kate Grusich told PopSci in an email.
