While I'm sure anecdotally there's examples of people mask wearing and catching it the overwhelming evidence is that it reduces the chances.
In extremely high risk settings this is more than offset by exposure daily, perhaps to multiple people with COVID and the weak guidance not mandating N95 or others in healthcare settings.
For the average person most likely to encounter incidental exposure - on public transport, or in shops - the marginal gains add up.
