A member asked:
If i live with someone who has tested positive for corona virus do i need to go test as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: When a household member is diagnosed with COVID, automatically all other household members are considered exposed and should be treated as if they were infected as well, meaning they need to be in quarantine and take the same precautions as the infected household member. Therefore, getting tested will not make a difference in management.
