COVID: Significant exposure to COVID is considered 15 minutes, shorter than most healthcare exposures. If the patient was coughing and generating droplets during your visit, you would have a small risk of exposure through the eyes. Good work wearing PPE appropriately; you should be supplied with a medical grade mask if you go into patients rooms.

COVID 19 concerns: It is good that you spent less than 15 minutes in the room and obviously you were wearing a mask (with other PPE). Unless the person was physically close by and coughing or sneezing in your direction, this would not be considered a high-risk scenario.
