If you stand for about 1 hour side by side (indoors, no mask)with someone who tests positive for covid-19 who had light symptoms, is the chance of getting covid-19 at 100% or lower? or how is the risk of getting the virus calculated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is almost impossible to calculate the risk. There are many cases who are so close in contact such as spouses who live in the same house and sleep on the same bed that husbands are sick but their wives are not contracted and vice versa. Up to 10% or more people have not contracted with covid-19 so far.
