Was exposed to someone who tested positive for the coronavirus over 24 hrs ago. do i need to be tested? not showing any symptoms is it safe to be around my kids and mother over 60yrs old?

Local issue: I would contact your local health department for this question. The availability & accuracy of local testing is a regional one as are the recommendations.Deciding what qualifies as a true exposure (not just being around someone) would require a thorough review of the incident.

Yes: Until tested, please stay home, rest and drink fluids. A test due to your exposure is indicated. Avoid being around your mother and use good hand washing. Try to avoid close contact with your children until your know that you are not infected. The incubation period varies and may be as long as two weeks. If you test positive, please consider a plasma donation when you have recovered.
