From: Slight reduction in SARS-CoV-2 exposure viral load due to masking results in a significant reduction in transmission with widespread implementation

Figure 5

Effect of mask efficacy on exposure viral load during successful transmissions. Viral loads of the transmitter plotted against mask efficacy. Colors indicate masking conditions (see legend). Each boxplot in each panel is based on simulations of 3000 transmitters with varying daily exposure contacts. (A) Viral load of transmitters and (B) viral load exposure in infected individuals.
