It lessens the dose of the virus reaching the wearer and hence the sickness could be less severe in them.  Face masks and prevention of the viral spread Face masks are mandatory in public places because studies revealed that once face masks are on, it prevents the spread of the virus from the wearer to others. Hence others around are protected. Its role in benefiting the wearer was doubtful.  Face masks [Source: Healthline] But now scientists are speculating that the viral load reaching the wearer from an infected person or an asymptomatic viral carrier could be less.
