Be cool. Watch him for early signs of infection . All children exposed may not be suffering from disease and in small children it is mostly mild.

Hi.
Nothing to worry. Wear a Mask at home too. Maintain proper hygiene.
Watch for symptoms in the child like fever/cough/cold/loose stool. If any consult a nearby paediatrician immediately
