I've looked for reasons HK had so few cases despite being very crowded and having a lot of international traffic (similar to New York city) Mask wearing had 99% compliance before the govt said anything. Cases have increased as that relaxed a bit. Unless anyone has further information I'm taking this as strong evidence of the effectiveness of masks.
