(Reuters) - Most Americans wore cloth face-coverings after the government recommended their use in April, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a publication released on Tuesday.

CDC researchers analysed data from more than 800 adults in two internet surveys in April and May who reported going outdoors in the past week.
