When should I be tested, if at all?

Asked by tedibear (19309points) November 30th, 2020

My manager informed us this afternoon that her son-in-law tested positive for COVID-19. He told her as soon as he received his result today from a pre-operative test. I do not know if it was the standard test or a rapid test, nor the date of his test.

She last saw him on Sunday, 11/29, and generally sees him every other day. I think they consider themselves to be part of each other’s “bubble”, and as such, do not wear masks when together.

I last saw her on Friday, 11/27. She and I always wear our masks at work. There were several times throughout the day when we were less than six feet apart for more than 15 minutes.

While I continue to wait on hold to get a medical professional’s opinion, can anyone tell me the appropriate time to be tested?

I have no symptoms, but that doesn’t mean I am not infected.

I have poked around online, but can’t find a definitive answer. I don’t want to waste a test, but I don’t want to delay isolation or quarantine if that’s where I belong.
