COVID-19?: May I assume your question is “Should I worry about COVID-19?” I would say yes, though no way to confirm without testing. If there are increasing COVID rates in your area, more likely. If not, less likely. But still likely with the reopenings. See if you can get tested. Watch for symptoms: stay home & report them if they appear. Stay safe. Stay vigilant. Wash hands. Practice social distancing.

COVID 19 Risk: This is concerning. Do you know if she was tested or not? If she was not tested, recommend that you isolate and get tested. The CDC has provided guidelines for COVID 19 testing at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/hcp/clinical-criteria.html. However, state & local health departments/ providers make actual testing decisions.
