Scientists from the Cambridge and Greenwich Universities have stated that their research that focussed on the spread of the Covid-19 suggests that lockdowns alone are not enough to contain the virus from resurging in a second wave. It instead indicates that the widespread use of face masks - even homemade ones - could reduce the transmission rates to a controllable level if enough people wear them.
