COVID 19: How close was the contact? Less than 6 feet apart? Both wearing mask? Person appear ill at the time? Outdoors or in a poorly ventilated, crowded tight space? Less than ten minutes? 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. Would quarantine. Being tested is the only way to know for sure.

Yes : Close contact with someone with the Covid infection make sure higher risk of getting it. Wear a mask and practice social distancing 6 feet away.Most places recommend you be quarantine for 14 days. Symptoms typically start five days after exposure sometimes it takes 10 to 14 days to get sick rarely longer
