There r chances to be infected if ur directly standing down below ,nearby area. Usually if they fall due to height of 13 ft they may not reach u ,it may get adhered to nearby surfaces of lesser ht.which it touches first. U take care to wear face mask if standing out in ur balcony. Disinfect the railings,any other things with alcoholic base sanitiser,or sod.hypochlorite sol .by the local corporation people.
