A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID contact case: If the other person has tested positive for COVID 19 or has COVID 19 symptoms, then this is an exposure which may lead to an infection. If the other person who was exposed is still without symptoms and test negative, after 10-14 days, then is it unlikely. If the exposure took place less than 10 days ago, request that they contact you if they develop symptoms and/or a positive test.
