Covid19: If you've been exposed to someone with covid19 you should isolate yourself from others for 14 days and if no symptoms by then you can circulate among people maintaining social distancing and wearing a mask in public places when you can't distance properly. If you do develop symptoms, call your MD for instructions.

Very good evening doctors. I took a rapid antigen and a PCR covid test because a close contact tested positive. I tested negative for both tests. If I don't have symptoms, when in the future should I take a covid test again, either rapid or PCR test?
