New research shows that wearing face masks could have a major impact on the number of coronavirus cases in Utah. 

According to a study out of the University of Iowa College of Public Health, Utah could see about 100 fewer cases every day if people were required to wear masks in public. 

Researchers gathered their information from cities and states that have mask mandates in place. 

They conclude those areas saw significant declines in COVID-19 transmission.
