Screen locally: If you have no symptoms, testing may be arranged locally within the first week of exposure. If you develop symptoms, test right away and self isolate. Dink fluids, rest and monitor your temperatures. Children may present differently, and you son has any symptoms, then test and isolate. The test may be arranged through your local resources.
