If you’re buying masks for the COVID-19 virus, you need to order the anti-viral masks, not anti-bacterial, or dust masks.

Dr. Ruggieri says masks prevent you from touching your face which is one of the quickest ways to get sick. But it’s only 50 to 60, maybe 70 percent effective at best.
Dr. Ruggieri says if you have a mask, use it. A mask may offer some resistance.

If this gets out of hand here on the big is. you will know me by the mask I am wearing. It will be my cut & empty 2 quart plastic tonic water bottle strapped on my head with elastic ties.
joking aside...
I did read on BBC the importance of protecting ones eyes as well.

The virus can enter your body through your eyes !
These masks don't prevent that .
