CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.
It sounds like it's recommended because a significant portion of people with coronavirus are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic, and the virus can spread through speaking, coughing or sneezing.

we wear cloth face masks because they protect other people from getting COVID-19 from us, in case we have it and don’t know.
There's no "proof" that these work, but there's a hope that it helps along with hand washing and a distance of six feet.
