Maybe/not: Masks in general do reduce spread of the virus from infected persons. You may or may not have been exposed at that time or during another unrelated encounter. A dry cough is one of the primary symptoms of covid that would appear anywhere from 5 to 14 days after infection starts, if you ever have symptoms at all.

Could be: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in ZA. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
