Yes, get tested: It is important that exactly people like you get tested, so that we can learn of people with just minor "cold symptoms " like yours may actually have a mild case of Covid19. It also let's you know whether you need to keep a full quarantine. You are absolutely correct that it may be just a cold, but combine the fact you were exposed with mild symptoms-that equals get tested!

Yes , Get a test don: Any symptoms that raise the question of possible COVID infection you must get tested. isolation without testing is not very useful to you and those around you. The test is simple and very informative.
