Additional benefit from wearing mask is that it prevents you from touching your face.
Touching with the mouth, eyes, and/or nostrils with your contaminated hand is substantial source of respiratory virus infections.
People touch their face an average of 3 - 4 times per hour, and common objects an average of 3 times per hour. In some kind of sitting office work it can be 10-15 times per hour.
