Testing COVID: Self isolation is best plan unless your develop symptoms but check with local tracking guidelines. Mask and practice Death Defying Distancing until then as long as your guidelines suggest. Goto uotodate.com and CDC.gov and read more. Stay Safe.

COVID 19: You can just self- isolate without further testing. However, why did you test so early. It is usually recommended that you test 5 to 7 days after your exposure or once you become symptomatic.
