As you know, that depends if she had COVID 19. Your risk is determined by the type of masks used, the length of time together. I suggest that the safest thing is to get tested for COVID 19 if you have symptoms or wait five days if you have no symptoms For the sack of safety, and protecting others, is it best you keep isolated until you were certain.

If she was infected with COVID 19 - you are certainly at risk for infection. The “Three C’s” to avoid: Closed spaces with poor ventilation. Crowded places with many people nearby. Close-contact settings, such as close-range conversation.

If she had Covid, you are at risk. Wearing masks does provide a considerable measure of protection. Visit this site for information: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
