COVID 19: What was exposure like? Were you close to infected person – less than 2 meters? Were you both wearing masks? Did the person appear ill? Sneeze or cough near you? Interaction less than 10 minutes? In a crowded or poorly ventilated room? – (vs being outdoors). Even if answer is “no” to many of these questions, a direct cough or sneeze can get infect you.

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 your area. 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.

Contact with COVID : I have heard of people getting COVID 19 after having a 30-sec short conversation. while 2 feet away. You do not need to sneeze or cough on someone to spread it. What was your contact? The very safest for others with regards to this uncertainty, is to not just wear a mask, or keep 6 feet away, be 100% isolated from people in your own room, and contact a telemedicine doctor
