The role of masks in reducing the risk of new waves of COVID-19 in low transmission settings: a modeling study	2020-09-03		.txt	text/plain	4687	210	52	Objectives: To evaluate the risk of a new wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a setting with ongoing low transmission, high mobility, and an effective test-and-trace system, under different assumptions about mask uptake. The dynamics of COVID-19 transmission are complex, and in low-transmission settings the probability of maintaining epidemic control depends on numerous factors outside of policy control, including the characteristics of people who get infected: the size of their households, the type of work that they do, and a number of other socio-economic factors that may influence their contact networks, access to testing and capacity to self-isolate. We use the model to investigate the probability of a setting with low transmission and high mobility experiencing a resurgence in cases, grounding the analysis based on the policy settings and epidemic state of New South Wales at the end of August.	./cache/cord-318252-vv3qsq74.txt	./txt/cord-318252-vv3qsq74.txt
