Can you catch covid 19 if an infected person coughs (indoors) one time in close proximities while both people are wearing a mask? the person coughing wore a cloth mask. i am double masked, wearing an n95 mask and surgical mask?

The person with Covid who is coughing is highly contagious and a simple cloth mask provides very limited protection for others in the room. The N95 mask, if properly fitted, should provide significant but not perfect protection for you. Please get vaccinated.

Agree with Dr. Madonna. The two people wearing masks especially your N-95 mask should provide sufficient protection. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
