Covid from hall way

Question

Covid from hall way

Asked for Male, 33 Years

Hi, we had groceries delivered today. And the delivery man coughed once.. we aren't sure whether he was wearing a mask. After the man left, I went to collect the box.. I was wearing a glove and mask but I think my mask was a bit loose around the nose and I could breathe as normal.. is there a chance of me getting covid due to breathing the air in case that person was infected ?? The Hallway is open on both sides..I am very scared now and I have washed my hands multiple times thereafter... please help
