"the easiest way for malware to find its way onto your device is by physically accessing your device, which is why locking your device or protecting it with an Anti-theft solution is recommended. "

"Finally, F-Secure recommends that you download Android apps only from the Play Store,"

In other words, it's extremely unlikely for anyone to get their devices infected unless they download from unknown/(unsafe) sources. Or have someone they actually know install it on their device without them knowing about it.
