State of pandemic: There are numerous guidelines and protocols to focus upon who needs testing and when. However, you are best advised if asymptomatic, to quarantine if you did have contact with infected person. The US CDC now is recommending 10 days. If you fulfill your local protocols, would get the PCR, not the "rapid" due to better accuracy. Hopefully, these comments are overly cautious.

COVID 19: This doesn't necessarily mean that your manager had any direct exposure to COVID 19. However, if your manager should become COVID positive, that would put you in a higher risk category.
