What I’ve read is that YOU will get the virus from contact from hand to mouth from touching infected places. So if you wore a mask but didn’t wash you’re hands when you got home, then it’s pointless.

I’m guessing the mask MAY be a safeguard but they say infected people wearing them is more important.

Perhaps in crowds it could make a difference.

This is what I read:
