This is what the CDC says about masks: “ The CDC recommends that members of the public use simple cloth face coverings when in a public setting to slow the spread of the virus, since this will help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others.”
Not to stop you from getting it, but to stop you from spreading it.
