What is the ruling on covering the face in women's prayer areas for fear of contracting infectious diseases?

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- 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.
