COVID concerns: Did you have any contact with the colleague? If yes, less than 6 feet apart? Both wearing mask? Person appear ill at the time ? In a poorly ventilated, crowded tight space? Less than ten minutes? Even if you have the “right” answers to these questions, if your colleague who is infected coughs or sneezes right at you, you can become infected. Being tested is the only way to know for sure.
