Corvo was constantly taking the elixir over and over again and the mask somewhat filtered out his face from coming in contact with the plague. Ive looked at the mask for reference pictures long enough to know that it is not a mask that anything could easily slip through. It has burlap over it to protect the mouth, and then what looks like a soft red fabric underneath the burlap. And to protect the eyes, he has thick glass lenses in the mask (although, there are still some small portions under the right eye where something could get through). But for the most part, Corvo's face was almost fully inclosed inside the mask. So the mask and the elixer definitely could prevent the plague from getting to him. The only thing that could give him the plague through all that protection is if a rat bit him, and it was obvious it did not. And even if it did bite him, he may still could be protected.
