She may have been exposed but may or may not test possible.
Do not panic.
Wait and watch for symptoms
If symptoms like fever, weakness; loss of smell or taste develop, then please get an RT PCR for Covid-19 test done

Yes there are chances because we cannot rule out and according to your statement the patient is corona positive and using only the normal mask but the chances are less.
Instead of taking the risk we can start the tablet zinc and limcee tablet as a precautionary measure and go through the covid-19 antigen test as a precautionary measure

No, the chances are less and as a safe side, watch for symptoms and check in case of persistent fever, loss of smell and taste, headache etc
