description Dear Editor, In December 2019, transmission of the novel coronavirus (SARS‐CoV‐2) that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) occurred in Wuhan, China. 1 And later, the virus began to be transmitted from person to person. 2 Face masks are a type of personal protective equipment used to prevent the spread of respiratory infections, and it may be effective at helping prevent transmission of respiratory viruses and bacteria. 3 Here, we share a case of face masks are being used to prevent the transmission of COVID‐19 infection. According to epidemiological survey, 5 other passengers on the same coach bus were infected. Face masks are recommended for diseases transmitted through droplets and respirators for respiratory aerosols and may prevent infection in public settings. 6 The potential of face masks to reduce the spread of respiratory infections and could be useful. 7 In the study 8 of attitudes of influenza‐vaccinated healthcare workers toward masks, 65.7% of the participants agreed with infection control recommendation “wearing a mask” to prevent influenza transmission.
