Probably no concern: Only a person with an active infection (symptomatic or asymptomatic) can transmit the virus. If your Aunt is exhibiting symptoms, you should get tested for Covid 19 at around day 4-6 after last exposure. Testing prior to this may not give accurate results. If she is not exhibiting any symptoms, then there is not concern.

3-14 days: The period of coronavirus transmission begins approximately 3 days BEFORE you get symptoms and lasts for approximately 10 days after you BEGIN to feel better (not necessarily completely better, just begin to feel better). If you caught the virus from your aunt, you will begin to feel ill anywhere from 3-14 days after catching the virus.

What's he best way to tame a group of people during these Covid times when we come together and engage and food is involved? I hate seeing people unmasked near food. Should I invest in those masks that unzip at the mouth but leave the nose covered?

My daughter started Covid symptoms on 5/13. She tested positive on 5/16. She has only had a stuffy nose. Nothing else. I tested her today and she is negative. Is it safe for her to be around people now? Is she still contagious even though negative?
