TRY : to relax. If nobody sneezed or coughed you should be ok. Keep an yes on your symptoms, cough, fever, not much else you can do.

Probably yes.: If you had worn a mask that could help. It was determined recently that you can catch the virus from someone who is not symptomatic via talking or breathing. Contact to your doctor online to evaluate the risk that you believe you are exposed and find out if you can be tested . In the mean time monitor yourself if you are developing any symptoms such as cough , fever , shortness of breath.
