Not necessarily: Was the contact COVID +? How close was contact? Less than 6 feet apart? Both wearing mask? Person appear ill at the time? Outdoors or in poorly ventilated, crowded tight space? Less than 10 minutes? If someone who is infected coughs or sneezes right at you, you can become infected.
