Their general effect on reducing virus transmission is proven, but they can also be negative to mental health and economies, and transmission behaviours can also change voluntarily, without mandated interventions. Their relative impact on Covid-19 attributed mortality, enabling policy selection for maximal benefit with minimal disruption, is not well established due to a lack of definitive methods.}, volume = {22}, issue = {1}, journal = {BMC Public Health}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-022-13546-6}, }
