Unlikely, people in the know having been rightly telling us, again and again, that the masks most people are buying (surgical masks) are useless unless you are actually sick! In which case the best solution is to not go out. Why? It's been shown that most people who wear these masks touch their face more often, increasing the chance of transmission! The most successful way to avoid the virus is washing your hands, and not putting your hands on your face. Lets not forget that many Asians still believe people get the common cold from going outside on a cold day. Believing something doesn't make it true though.
