COVID-19 Spread: Close contact with respect to COVID-19 transmission is defined as within 6 feet for 10-15 minutes at a time without masks. For scenarios not considered close contact, the risk of Coronavirus transmission from an infected individual to a non-infected individual would be insignificant.
