Yes: As an ethical issue you should test even if symptom free. There is data suggesting easy spread from 2 days before symptoms occur and no matter how good your technique an inadvertent exposure to others may spread the disease. Your licensing board may also consider it an issue if you have been found to spread the disease. I would test but you can also consult your colleges on a hypothetical.

COVID 19 exposures: Concur with Dr. Ferguson. Because you are a healthcare provider, the risk to future patients makes it important to be safe versus sorry. Take care.
