No, this is not correct. The masks do not hide a person's identity.
Many years ago, masks could hide a person's identity. Even in recent years there was a push from the media to ban "Islamic" headscarves because they "violated the rights of women and the norms of a secular society." The real reason was that they wanted to be able to identity everyone with facial recognition technology as they went about daily life.
Since then, facial recognition has advanced to the point where masks (and headscarves) no longer conceal a person's identity. That's why you don't see it on the news as much.
