  • *Household members (mask arm 302 and control arm 295).

  • †Multivariate analysis was performed as there were 10 cases of CRI and age was also significant in the univariate analysis. Multivariate analyses were not performed for ILI and laboratory-confirmed viral respiratory infections due to the low number of cases.

  • CRI, clinical respiratory illness; ILI, influenza-like illness.
