It is better you do,: You got the exposure, and now you have symptoms suggests you may have COVID 19 but not 100% that you do. It may help you and the health department to get the test for various reasons in that if your symptoms should continue then you know quickly and be treated without delay. It may be more incentive to quarantine and not expose others to the infection. The count also is helpful for health planning
