Schematic of the SIR framework model for interacting populations of facemask and non-facemask wearers, in which transmission pathways are distinguished between (i) inoculum creation by asymptomatic and symptomatic infected individuals and (ii) uptake/infection from droplet and fomite inoculum. The model can be adapted further to allow for cycles of population lock-downs.
