 OK the news is saying the CDC is reconsidering their position on the public wearing masks.  Note it is not you wearing a mask that protects you, but everyone else wearing one, including the people with the virus who do not show symptoms.  The mask catches many of the droplets infected people exhale, sneeze or cough out.  This reduces the amount of virus containing droplets in the air for you to breath in, reduces the virus on surfaces you touch and then bring to your face with your hand, etc.
