Yes: It is recommended that you be tested since you have an exposure. Within the household, you should self isolate, use a different room and bathroom if possible. Testing is an accurate way to detect active infection. The typical incubation period is 2-5 days, and as long as 14 days post exposure. Watch for signs of distress, shortness of breath and if these symptoms occur seek emergency evaluation.

COVID 19 testing: In South Africa- one consults with a medical provider who will determine need for COVID 19 testing. Consult your local primary care provider or you can use telemedicine for individual consultations.
