Windy or not ? Each effort to avoid infection: vaccine/mask/eye shield/sanitized hands/etc. offers incremental benefits. None are 100% protective. Simple cloth masks are by themselves a poor benefit. Exposure risk when passing through an area possibly contaminated by another must include the wind speed that would dissipate the cloud of virus rendering the area clear.

The risk of catching Covid-19 from what you described is minimal. Get Covid vaccine at the earliest opportunity. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
