FDA advises we all adopt everyday safe food handling

This has been reported through various news outlets for weeks. Masks provide a limited protection for the other person, not the wearer. The Health care workers know this.
So does this mean when a Jersey Mikes sub preparer with covid-19 sneezes and gets it on the sub your about to eat, or the wrapper you're going to be touching, you won't get the virus?


Why not?
