COVID 19: Well the incubation period is 1 to 14 days with a median of 5 days. I recommend quarantining. If your room mate is positive - don't know how long she has been exposed to you. Some people will test negative when presymptomatic. Most people who are infected with have an accurate test result at 5 to 7 days.
