Certainly can't hurt, eh? I'm not sure about virus, but with bacteria, friction from rubbing hands kills them in addition to soap.
Preventing those airborne droplets from getting into air when coughing and sneezing is 1st step. When I was in Hong Kong & Viet Nam, face-masks were given away everywhere for free, hotels, restaurants, cabs, malls, stores, etc. Anywhere, you went they were giving them out.
