Testing: Testing typically necessary if symptoms. However, there can be secondary reasons that merit testing including your own piece of mind, your work or community. I would recommend talking to your local provider or health department. You can talk to a Healthtap provider. You are on the general screen. Sign back in and talk to a provider. One of them can help.

Will not hurt: You could get tested, but a negative result would not rule out it turning positive later. Wear a mask in public. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital.
