That depends: What was exposure like? Was she close to infected person – less than 2 meters? Were both wearing masks? Did the person appear ill? Sneeze or cough near her? Interaction less than 10 minutes? In a crowded or poorly ventilated room? – (vs being outdoors). Even if answer is “no” to many of these questions, a direct cough or sneeze can get infect you. Responses to this can help determine next step.

Agree with Dr. F: She should wear a mask, practice social/physical distancing, wash hands frequently, if feasible she should quarantine herself. God forbid she develops symptoms and gets breathing difficulty, get her to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you both good health!
