The answer

The fundamental principle in prayer is to uncover the face. Covering it is disliked unless there is a need, such as the presence of non-mahram men. If it is possible to suffice with a mask covering only the nose, that is better than covering the entire face, while ensuring the necessity for this by consulting specialized doctors.
