Your first claim isn't true. A mask worn with good hygiene practices won't increase your risk. But taking a mask off, touching it, and then doing other things before washing your hands can.
- zeroimpl 6y agoIf your mask got infected while wearing it, then you would have gotten infected had you not been wearing it anyways. So even if your poor hand hygiene renders the mask unhelpful, wearing the mask doesn’t overall increase your risk.
