Yes and yes: If you are in a small, poorly ventilated space (such as a car) in close proximity to another person who is infected - that would present a risk for transmission. Of course, you might get infected if you are near someone who is at a clinic. That is one of the reasons that social distancing and wearing a mask are so important.
