Has there been an empirical study since the danish one?

Plenty, although it's very hard to do a fully randomised trial of mask wearing on its own when everyone is also social distancing and hand washing.

I know of no studies which suggest that mask wearing is a health risk, and plenty that suggest it's a health benefit.
