R0 = 3 is assuming no measures taken, no?

Masks worn by one person but not another reduces transmission by something like 30%. 70% if both parties are wearing them.

Basically, assuming perfect adherence to guidelines while in public places, the R0 still is somewhere around 1. Since there is no perfection, it's likely higher than that.
