Prayer of the Congregation Away from the Rows

Question
In the neighborhood mosque, the worshippers are not adhering to masks, prayer rugs, or distancing, so I pray behind the rows leaving two or three gaps between me and them, of course, following the imam? I do not know if my action is permissible or not?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is better to leave this fear behind, wear the mask, and approach them appropriately; because it is disliked to stay away from the rows and pray alone, and God knows best.
