Dr. Madhukar Pai, Professor at the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health and past ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Global Health Programs Director, is quoted by VOA News.

"Dr. Madhukar Pai of ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University’s School of Population and Public Health said that masks are an easy and pain-free way of keeping transmission down, but that cheap, at-home tests need to be much more widespread, in both rich and poor countries. He said both approaches give people a sense of control over their own behavior that is lost with a lockdown and make it easier to accept the need to do things like cancel a party or stay inside."
