Yes, you should: be tested.Although a negative test does not rule out you having COVID,as the incubation period(time from exposure to time of positivity)can be up to 2 weeks,it can help if you are positive and need to be isolated and have contacts of yours tested.Alternatively, you should quarantine for 14 days if that is possible, especially if testing is not available to you.Also,discuss with your doctor.
