Covid primarily spreads through droplets, which are largely stopped by regular surgical masks. There is lots of evidence that shows masks like surgical masks, which don't filter out things like smoke, do slow the spread.
Those kind of masks certainly won't protect you from others, at least not entirely, since you can breath in droplets through gaps in the mask, but they protect others from your breathing or coughing.

Droplets don’t explain almost any of the super spreader events. And it is the super spreader events that are so concerning. Note: I have no idea if masks help with the clearly airborne super spreader events.
