This line sums up the importance of studies like the Bangladesh @MaskNorm study. "In the absence of systematic research on the costs and benefits of mask requirements for kids, the issue has been transformed into a right-left political battle." theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Mask distribution through @MaskNorm starts in #Nepal. The colorful cloth bags are a staple for deliveries and have a very local touch, along with the use of mascots. Also happy that our volunteers are staying safe with #masks & gloves. abcdkhabar.com/news/details/… #NepalWearsMasks

What does #mask distribution look like in a place like #Nepal? Volunteers go door to door (or shop to shop), tell people about the project, and post stickers outside the places they have visited. @MaskNorm fb.watch/7tyb35FAcb/ #WearAMask #NepalWearsMasks

Happy to hear that @mohpnep is starting a #mask campaign in #Nepal. As we get ready to launch @MaskNorm there, it is great to have an aligned message from the government (Ministry of Health). 🙏🏽 onlinekhabar.com/2021/08/994… #NepalWearsMasks #WearAMask
