for masks I think you need n95 or better rated masks...but even a flimsy ineffective mask can work as a deterent to touching your mouth/nose.
as for the infected couple, from what news stations have been saying the male was wearing a mask the whole time (or close to it) as is pretty standard for tourists from japan if they aren't feeling well (probably most other asian countries too). they haven't mentioned if the female was/wasn't...at least not that I know of. they were reported to have been on maui prior to oahu as well (but no symptoms while there)
probably got about 7-10 more days to see if it spread to anyone else...but if the male tourist was wearing a mask then odds that it spread are probably fairly low...but not zero.
