"Germs" is a catch-all term that covers bacteria, viruses, and other microscopic particles that cause illness in humans.

Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms. Many don't cause disease and are even beneficial, although some are disease-causing (pathogenic).

Viruses are even smaller than bacteria. Viruses can't reproduce without a host.

So, do paper, and even cloth masks, prevent the spread of the Covid-19 "germs"?
