If you were exposed to this person only briefly & you both had masks the risk should be low. Usually the risk is with an exposure time of 15 mins or so @ less than 6 feet away, but almost nothing is 100% with this virus. Stay healthy with good diet, adequate rest, outdoor exercise, plus the other things you are doing.
