If workers were on my outdoor deck looking it over and talking to each other without masks, and then i went and sat on the deck immediately after they left, can i get covid if one of them had it? can you get it from breathing the same outdoor air?

COVID 19: The outdoor air does not allow COVID 19 to spread as easily. It is possible the air had COVID 19 air particles in it after they left, but less concerning an issue than if they were indoors.

COVID 19 concerns: Agree with Dr. Romano. Risk for transmission is much lower in an outdoor environment. There is more and more support for presence of aerosol transmission - so would just self-monitor for possible symptoms.

Agree with Dr. F: 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.
