Of course! I've started learning more about additional layers of protection recently, like doing a saline rinse in my nasal passage every day after outings and using special nasal sprays that help block infections before outings. Not complete solutions but some promising studies exist to support it.

There are also filters that can sit over or inside your nostrils (supposed to be our primary airway). Sadly those filters are only rated for PM2.5 (designed more for allergens) so they won't capture viruses very well, but better than nothing if I need to briefly remove my mask on long outings.
