COVID-19: The risk of being exposed to the asymptomatic contact of a COVID infected patient is relatively low, although asymptomatic transmission is well known. Other factors would be whether you spent more than 15 minutes together and whether you appropriately both wore masks. Rather than wait to see if your new symptoms are significant, see your doctor and get tested.
