A member asked:

What length of time is a coronavirus exposure? if you were in a queue for 15-30 mins & you were not 2 meters away from others but you were not directly face to face with others, would this be a significant risk? or is it when someone coughs/sneezes?

Coronavirus exposure: Significant exposure is considered to occur with 15 min of face to face exposure and 2 hrs of exposure in a contained environment. If you were in a queue for 30 mint would not be considered a significant risk. Again, it is better to remain 2 meters away.
