COVID 19: Were you in the room at the time? If yes, how close was the contact? Were you wearing mask? Did he appear ill at the time (viral load)? Even if you have the “right” answers to these questions, if someone who is infected coughs or sneezes right at you, you can become infected. If you are in South Africa, I believe you would contact a medical provider who would need to approve testing.
