Are you still recommending masking the player also? Which type- fabric or medical mask recommended?

yes band

yes

Thank you for the clear guidance and explanation of the guidelines recommended by this study.

Is there a team that is focused on disseminating this information, and have they found a particularly effective strategy or avenue to have decision makers buy into the guidelines of this study?

Any research on masking and face shields for vocalists?

So then is "background level" like a textbook class sitting masked and learning?

@Erin, that would be a good way to describe it.

In future, I could see some of this continuing during regular flu seasons ( trumpet player).

Thank you SBA, thank you Dr. Weaver! This is such important info!

Thank you Suzanne and James, this is such valuable information.
