Strange covid question - is it necessary to wear a mask while in your car when doing curbside pickup of groceries? only trunk of the car would be opened by the store employee, not the passenger compartment, so there would be no face-to-face contact.

COVID 19: If the trunk is not open to the cabin on the vehicle - than I think it is fine not to wear a mask. However, if you have a vehicle like a minivan where the "trunk space" is open to the rest of the cabin, then I would wear a mask. Stay healthy. That was a good question.

Read in news that healthcare officials are advising ppl to NOT go to store this week due to increase in COVID cases/deaths. Would that include doing curbside pickup (employee loads items in trunk while you stay in car) or is that still safe to do?
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?
Dr, My Husband was very sick and had flue like symptoms. He tested neg for covid 19. After 4 days he started feeling better but has developed a rash over his torso and groin area. Face, legs and arms are clear. We have no idea what it can be?
Was out shopping with my son. When we got back to the car he took his mask off and wiped his sweaty face with his sleeve! I guess better than hands but any covid concern if germs in air somehow got on his T-shirt?
The advice from the CDC is that the public don't need to wear face masks to protect from COVID-19 as the masks are ineffective in protecting against the virus. Therefore, why are caregivers of people who are infected being advised to wear masks?
