I think also worth a mention, that you can get the virus through your eyes - so if someone coughs/sneezes and you are wearing a mask, then there's still a reasonable chance, it will hit your eyeballs.
Wear your glasses/sunglasses to add another layer of protection.
Some people are wearing surgical gloves when shopping, which is fine, but they still carry bacteria, so turn them inside out as you take them off and don't dump them outside a supermarket for someone else to clean up (seen a few pictures of this).
Alternative mask?
Whilst the mask on the below link is clearly not intended for medical use - i'm looking at this and thinking it will do the job? It covers your face and your mouth 100% does not let any air in the front - your air intake is facing behind you, so people can't give you anything by coughing directly in your face. The negatives are, it looks daft, but you can get presently in less than a week https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B07PPFY12J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=cstareg0f-21 might need minor modification, such as a little filtering material in the air inlet.
