Three C's for COVID: The “Three C’s” to avoid: Closed spaces with poor ventilation. Crowded places with many people nearby. Close-contact settings, such as close-range conversation. From the standpoint of pulling mask down for about 3 seconds - that issue doesn't sound particularly high risk.

Agree with Dr. F: Your risk of getting Covid-19 is low. If you get symptoms get tested. For information, visit this site: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Wish you good health!
