Staff who used masks, gowns, and handwashing were less likely to develop SARS than those who did not use them, but the association for gloves was not significant (table 2). None of the 69 staff reporting use of all four measures became infected. By contrast, all 13 infected staff had omitted at least one of the measures (p=0·0224). However logistic regression of the four measures with forward stepwise selection showed that only use of masks was significant in the final model

...The surgical and N95 masks were both effective in significantly reducing the risk of infection

Thanks. Interesting. It appears that using a decent quality mask actually might be effective in reducing the risk.
