Il y a tellement de situations où le port du masque est très difficile (BTP au soleil, orthophonistes, sport, enseignement…) que des études doivent être menées pour tester l’efficacité de l’EAP en tant que masque barrière. Les débats ont fait rage entre les personnes qui prennent un maximum de précautions et ceux qui pensent qu’on ne peut pas empêcher un virus de circuler. Mais qu’en pensent les scientifiques ? Voici un peu de littérature pour connaitre les études et les avis des scientifiques.
