It does not prevent you from getting it, it prevents you from giving it to someone else. The sub-microscopic virus can be carried by the respiratory droplets that are expelled with a sneeze and get spread as far as six feet away from you. This can get it to many many people in a crowded setting. You sneeze into the tissue to contain those droplets in the tissue so you can then throw them away and wash your hands to protect others from catching the virus from you or from touching something that the virus from your sneeze fell upon and picking up the virus that way.
