Depends where : Depends on where you are.Testing is often recommended for contact tracing purposes and many schools/camps/work places do require testing.At the beginning of the pandemic,we were not testing asymptomatic people,but at least in NY and NJ,we are recommending testing,especially if someone has an exposure or at a large gathering.Medically, it is true he only has to isolate for 10d, but she for 14 d.
