2 second with other person no mask/i had double mask

Alright-I’ve been strict with my mask wearing but earlier just now I ordered doordash. I walked outside to meet the dasher but it wash dark so I didnt her face but as we walked up towards me talking slightly I didnt notice until she handed me the dood but i reached out a good arms length. I was pretty pissed off when i quickly back inside my work that i didnt bother to eat my food and threw it away. I quickly used hand sanitizer then after washed my hands then sprayed myself down with alcohol spray. I took off my masks and put on a new one.

Whats everyone take on this? Should I take a rapid test in a few days? The mask I wore was a KF94 first and over it was a surgical mask. I know the convo was less than 2 second and outdoor....im just concern with my eyes and if i did correctly wore double mask.

I greatly appreciate any help

Are you supposed to be meeting the driver? All of my DoorDash deliveries are no contact only. They leave them and send me a text that it's been dropped off. Perhaps that is what your driver expected, and didn't expect to see anyone.

Why did you throw the food away? It should be all sealed and wrapped. The dasher doesn't prepare the food, just picks it up.

Listen, I get the fear. I'm higher risk, live in one of the states with the most cases. I get it. But I think it's also important to not panic needlessly.

Im assuming since she couldnt walk inside the store with no mask-i walked outside to meet her. I guess in anger, i let it get to me and i tossed the food. I also live in state with cases as well (california) and trying my best to stay safe. Just upset why people cant just simply wear a mask for a few seconds. Thank you for your reply! I guess i need to stop panic abd rethink to calm myself down
Ohh you were at work. That makes more sense than this happening at your home. I understand the anger about people not wearing masks, but she may have genuinely thought she wouldn't see anyone.

It's stressful living in a high-covid area - I'm in Florida, in one of the worst parts of the state. Some days it feels like covid is just floating through the air when I go to the store or get gas in my car. I know that's not true, but it FEELS true. It plays with your head.

Maybe work on your anger response. It seems you end up suffering for it (ie, you lost your food and your money for it).

This isn't in response to the risk, which is slight because the contact was very short and not intimate.  I'm not sure why you threw out the food, there was no connection between that and the delivery person.  But I would want to know if the person expected you to come outside and greet her.  A lot of deliveries are being left on doorsteps or other places.  But if this was an expected contact, I would no matter whether you get tested or not call Doordash and let them know, as all the delivery people are supposed to be masked if personal contact is expected.  Otherwise, I agree with the above, I'm just more concerned this delivery person gets her act together.

Usually its been a quick drop off inside my work place but this person was calling me so i went outside in the dark. Im guessing she didnt have a mask and thats why didnt want to come in to drop off. True, im letting anger get to me and shouldve have thrown away the food. I just find it rude to expect to deliever food and not take precautions even on their app says it. Thank you Paxiled for the reply!

I'd say you are not at risk. Take a test if you are anxious but it really doesn't sound like you were exposed to the virus.

I try my best to keep safe as i work in a bartista  setting and we all try to do our best to keep safe. I read the risk park and saw on CDC stating a true contact exposure will be with someone 15 minuted or longer. I just hope 2-3 seconds outdoors drops the risk. Thank you anniebrooke for the response!
