Emphasis mine:

“The screening of the 9,865,404 participants without a history of COVID-19 found no newly confirmed COVID-19 cases, and identified 300 asymptomatic positive cases with a detection rate of 0.303 (95% CI 0.270–0.339)/10,000.”

“A total of 1174 close contacts of the asymptomatic positive cases were traced, and they all tested negative for the COVID-19.”

“Virus cultures were negative for all asymptomatic positive and repositive cases, indicating no ‘viable virus’ in positive cases detected in this study.”

In this video, Dr. Andrew Kaufman explains the statistics and results of the Danish randomized control trial (RCT) study on the use of masks for COVID-19.  This study was rejected by major medical journals, but the Annals of Internal Medicine had the courage to publish it.

/2 … "The between-group difference was −0.3 percentage point (95% CI, −1.2 to 0.4 percentage point; P = 0.38) (odds ratio, 0.82 [CI, 0.54 to 1.23]; P = 0.33)."

IN PLAIN LANGUAGE, AGAIN:
Masks don't work. Any benefit is too small to detect.
This is the >15th RCT = same result
