COVID19 Asymptomatic: Individuals with exposure to COVID-19 positive patients should remain home and self quarantine for at least 14 days from most recent exposure. Higher risk exposures involve close contact (less than 6 feet) for over 15 minutes. These exposed individuals should self-monitor for symptoms and perform twice daily temperature checks. If symptoms develop then will need to isolate and obtain testing.

COVID 19: CDC guidelines for COVID 19 testing are at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/hcp/clinical-criteria.html. However, state & local health departments/ providers make actual testing decisions. Some states require a dr's referral & others don't. People can call their health care provider if they believe they should be tested.
