See below: 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.

How close a contact?: How close was contact? Less than 6 feet apart? Glad both were wearing masks. Did colleague appear ill at the time? Was court poorly ventilated or in a crowded tight space? If someone who is infected coughs or sneezes right at you, you can become infected. If contact was close - should quarantine. Being tested is the only way to know for sure.
