Hard to be sure: Covid-19 is passed through respiratory droplets or finger contact with fresh virus on surfaces that are then passed to the mouth/nose/eyes. Simply using hand sanitizer and wearing a face mask reduces transmission to/from you or others. It is quite reasonable to decontaminate your hands/fingers often to protect your family. Do what you can do & you should be fine.

Had to pick up items today at store curbside, but briefly had to get out of car to physically receive them from the store employee. We both were wearing masks and it was outdoors. How great a risk is there of catching Covid that way? I am concerned?
