We had a false alarm in my apartment building last night for a fire but everyone was in lobby waiting to go up, unmasked, not 6 feet apart, except for me and one other.. should i quarantine or be tested?

Wait and watch: The fact that you were wearing mask, if well worn over your nose and mouth, reduces the chances of infection. If you do not have symptoms you do not need to look for testing since it may not be helpful and may not be the best use of current resources. I wonder why you would want to quarantine, it may just be best to continue the precaution of wearing mask and hand wash for protection of others.
