Was out shopping with my son. when we got back to the car he took his mask off and wiped his sweaty face with his sleeve! i guess better than hands but any covid concern if germs in air somehow got on his t-shirt?

COVID 19 concerns.: Risk is overall low. Someone coughing or sneezing at you within a close distance, especially if not wearing a mask, could contaminate a person or the clothing they are wearing. Take care.

Is there a risk of catching COVID-19 via airborne transmission if you are in a car with someone for 7-8 hours and this person has no symptoms (asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic) and no mask? How can I protect myself? Would a visor & hand-gel help me?
