The Impact of Mask Wearing Upon The Epidemiological Transmission Dynamics of COVID-19 in Nevada Public Schools DESCRIPTION:\n\nIris Cong1\nShayaan Zaidi\nNicole Whan\nBrittny Mikhaiel2\nFaculty Mentor: Levent Atici, Ph.D.2\n1The Meadows School\n2College of Sciences, School of Life Sciences\n3Division of Research, Office of Undergraduate Research\nABSTRACT\nCOVID-19 is an infectious disease which is caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which likely mutated from infecting animals to infecting humans. The first case was reported in December 2019, leading to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The effectiveness of facial coverings in preventing the spread of the virus has been consistently questioned by the public. Along with a lack of full knowledge concerning epidemiological transmission of COVID-19, students becoming infected by the virus is a new concern for youth in school. The primary goal of the study is to synthesize known information about general mask effectiveness in regards to COVID-19 transmission dynamics in public schools with local student statistics concerning the spread of COVID-19 in Nevada public schools. This is done in an effort to both explain the rise in COVID-19 transmission across Nevada public schools and to address the importance of mask wearing in these schools as a means of combating the increased spread of COVID-19.\n URL:https://oursymposium.sites.unlv.edu/program/the-impact-of-mask-wearing-upon-the-epidemiological-transmission-dynamics-of-covid-19-in-nevada-public-schools/ ORGANIZER;CN=The Office of Undergraduate Research:MAILTO:our@unlv.edu CATEGORIES:Health & Natural Sciences & Engineering END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
