Retest: I recommend retesting in view of your exposure. As a health care worker you should isolate yourself from others until you know your retest results are still negative and/or you have no symptoms of any infections before you return to work. I assume you know your hospital's policy on this matter regarding reporting and being tested. If not check with your supervisor.
