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: How close was the contact between them? Does the other person have symptoms? Has the other individual been found to be COVID 19? positive. Does your wife and child have symptoms? I don't think this is clear cut.
