Firstly no mask will protect you against the virus ...the mask is for the I'll persons safety so that he doesn't spread the infection and most of them are symptomless......secondly social distancing now studies have shown the virus can travel about 20ft so 6ft also is insufficient...so yes there may be a possibility you can get the virus.....thirdly after coming home it is better to remove the clothes and put for wash and the groceries too in salt water if you are very much concerned...but washing hands atleast for 30sec is very necessary...I hope it answers all your questions...
