  1. Coronavirus
  2. Infection and risks

Can you become infected simply by walking past someone who is infected?

Answer

If you briefly pass someone who is infected, especially if you are not in an enclosed space, it is unlikely that you will become infected. But even brief close contacts outdoors can result in virus transmission via droplets, such as through speaking, sneezing or coughing.
