COVID 19: How close was the contact? Less than 6 feet apart? Both wearing mask? Person appear ill at the time? Outdoors or in a poorly ventilated, crowded tight space? Less than ten minutes? If you need to test just know that the incubation can be 1 to 14 days with a median of 5 days. Thus, would quarantine and possibly wait a little longer.
