Covid-19: There is nothing to do at this time. Has there been Covid-19 in your area? If not, there is a low likelihood of your getting the infection. Symptoms of sore throat, fever and cough are the symptoms to observe for over the next 2-14 days. At the first sign of a sore throat, gargle with warm salt water and suck on zinc lozenges. Continue social distancing and hand washing.

COVID 19: Hopefully, you and the other individual were both wearing masks or face coverings. Although COVID 19 transmission is possible in scenarios where you might be in contact with people who are COVID 19 positive, it sounds like a brief encounter. Monitor yourself for symptoms.
