At least in China face recognition software is good enough that they can recognize people even when wearing covid mask. I mean even iphone face id works with masks, scarfs, sunglasses and in the dark (i didn't test all at same time so maybe there is hope...). So if you want to be anonymous then you can't, sorry, thats the world we live in currently.

FWIW Android Open Source face recognition (GrapheneOS on a Pixel 4 XL) didn't work with a mask on unless it was under the nose.

It didn't work either with a baseball cap and a mask under the nose.
