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? Even if you have the “right” answers to these questions, if someone who is infected coughs or sneezes right at you, you can become infected. Would quarantine. Your PCM will assess with you for testing.

Can't refer: We, unfortunately, can't refer from this platform. I would advise you to be tested, however, I don't know all the details of your circumstances. It would be best to speak with your local doctors for more detailed advice and referral if indicated.
