Should I Be Concerned About Any Infection If I Enter Into A Person's Room Who Has Air Borne Illness?

Hi I am worried about my son and I. My husband's dad had a roommate that always isolated himself in his bedroom and we think he was doing bad drugs. We stopped going to his house until he moved out. My son and I walked into his room being snoopy, we didn't touch anything, we just looked. It stunk a bit, so we left. Not knowing but a few days later we found out that he had an airborn illness. Is there any concerns?

HI
Thank for asking HCM
If you have doubts that the room is still having some organism which could be dangerous, then you can fumigate the room with formalin gas, but for that you have to call the team for this and they only can do it with special precaution, have nice day.
