Summary

Methods 123 patients were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial at Eskenazi Hospital from April 2020 until October 2020. We permitted patients to either use their own mask (due to low resources institutionally) or we provided a surgical/cloth mask (early on relied on donated cloth masks for patients). Patients were randomized to a control (no tape over the mask/nose) or to the intervention (placing tape over the bridge of the nose of the face mask). Patients were evaluated at 30- and 60- minute intervals to assess for proper mask usage.
