COVID-19 exposure: Being in a car with an infected person is definitely a high risk exposure. Follow your company's advice: you need to be tested and should self isolate at home at least until the test result is available. Good luck.

No harm in testing: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
