This location is not "within a relatively small square." As also previously posted, it is well away from the square, adjacent to a parking lot, with a somewhat isolated entrance.

As has been posted many times before, the risk from Covid is with close (within 6') contact for an extended (10+ mins) time and much higher in an enclosed area. Unless you stop someone heading to that door and chat with them for a while the risk is very low and if you don't happen to come from that parking lot, the risk is zero.
Early on when the Delta variant first was being reported about, the time frame to contract this variant was one minute of exposure. So, I took that to mean one minute of close encounter of within 6 feet of a Covid positive person with Delta variant. That is why this Delta variant is so contagious and much more contagious than the original Covid strain. For some reason, this time frame is not being reported now so who knows if it really is THAT quick to be exposed.
