Testing: The purpose for testing would be to treat. So if no symptoms testing in itself is not necessary. However, there are secondary reasons which yourself, your work or community would like to know. In my local community a testing center has been established. You can call your local provider or Health department. You can get testing through Healthtap . This is the general question and answer screen.

Not necessarily: If feasible, self quarantine for 14 days. At least wear a mask in public. If you get breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital. Wish you good health!
