Abstract

Covid-19, the medical community officially recognized and discovered it as a new kind of disease for the first time on December 26th, 2019. Then it quickly spread in many countries around the world in early 2020. Wearing masks has proven to be one of the effective measure to stop the spread of this epidemic. Face masks, which are ordinary in normal life, suddenly became a precious item during the early stage of Emergency Global Pandemic. At the same time, we found that the stock price of masks-related markets in various countries have fluctuated. We will establish relevant models from the aspects of politics, the number of infected people, and the media in various countries to explore the real influencing factors behind them and the connection between various factors and the stock market.
