MOH has defined what you describe as “transient contact” that amounts to low risk, more information at this link https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19/faqs. The CDC, also considered by most as a reliable resource, identifies this as direct exposure to coughing/sneezing from a confirmed patient, spending 10mins within 6 feet of a confirmed patient, among others at this link: https://www.doh.wa.gov/Portals/1/Documents/1600/coronavirus/COVIDexposed.pdf
Ultimately, with respect to what to do - there is possible community spread in Singapore now so it would be best to adopt the recommended social distancing measures to protect your loved ones, and seek medical attention early if you feel unwell, especially since you may have been exposed. If convenience is an issue, the assessment can be done online via apps like DoctorWorld that provide video-based consultations, and depending on your condition, the attending doctor may be able to prescribe suitable medications and have them delivered to you.

Hope this helps!
