My boss has tested positive to covid-19 and i was in direct contact with him. do i need to be tested?

COVID 19: Were you less than 2 meters from boss? Were you both wearing masks? Did he appear ill? Sneeze or cough near you? Interaction less than 10 minutes? In a crowded or poorly ventilated room? – (vs being outdoors). Even if answer is “no” to many of these questions, a direct cough or sneeze can get infect you. I don't South African testing policies right now, but if you had close contact would say yes.

Agree with Dr. F: Wear a mask, keep safe distance from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital. Wish you good health!
