Possibility: Difficult to answer with limited information. If your roommate was in close contact with a known positive COVID patient and has then spent considerable time with you, you could be exposed. If you have any symptoms, I would recommend testing. I think given the possible exposure, even without symptoms, I would take extra precautions and try to quarantine as much as possible for next 14 days.
