I think it’s safe to presume that it’s a non-sealing, cloth mask as that’s what 99% of us “civilians” are using.

Even these slow down transmission so it’s a function of having a mask, time spent together, flow/amount of air, proximity.

The outlier being Austria where everyone is required to wear FFP2 (N95 equivalent) masks when indoors (shopping, public transport, etc). And the government mandated the price of masks to be less than 1 Euro each. Not to say they are handling things great, but that was at least one step in the right direction.
