About: BACKGROUND: Iranian were advice to wear a mask and not touch their face during COVID-19 restrictions in Iran. METHODS: 1000 people were observed for 15-30 minutes in public places between 22 April and 9 May 2020. The average number of touches to the mucosal zone was calculated per hour and mask wearers (N=568) were compared with those not wearing a mask (N=432). FINDINGS: 92% were observed touching their face at least once an hour and averaged 10 (SD 6) touches per hour. Non-mask wearers touched their face significantly more often than mask wearers (11 vs 8 times per hour, P<0.001). Non-mask wearers were 1.5 (95%CI OR 1.2-2.0) times more likely to touch their mucosal zone than mask wearers (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Face touching is a common behavior and may have a role in COVID-19 transmission in the absence of hand hygiene. Mask use decrease the frequency of touching the mucosal zone.
