COVID 19: Not wearing masks? What was exposure like? Sounds like you were less than 2 meters? Did she appear ill? Sneeze or cough near you? Were you in a poorly ventilated room? – (vs being outdoors). Can't say what the chances are - but yes, you are at risk.

Good day. Would it be safe to send a child ( 14 years) who has Leiden V Factor to school during the covid-19 pandemic or should a parent rather home school the child ? Thanks for your assistance.

I have just recovered from COVID, but my spouse has now tested positive. I am the only one who leaves my house, so I was the one who infected her. Do I still need to quarantine as if I've been newly exposed to COVID? I have Pfizer vaccine/booster. TY?
