Can I be liable for getting someone else sick?

You're (probably) not going to get sued.

While it's unlikely you'll face a lawsuit, you could open yourself up to other liability by endangering the health of others during the coronavirus pandemic.

While your chances of facing an injury lawsuit for contributing to the potential spread of coronavirus are slim-to-none, it's a different story when it comes to violating laws meant to protect the public. If you fail to comply with a government-issued order or instruction related to the current coronavirus pandemic, you could face any number of civil or criminal penalties.
