The incubation period for common cold is about 3-5 days and you can shed virus in that incubation period then 5-7 days after the symptom onset. With Covid 19, that time could be doubled but nobody knows for sure at this time. If after 5 days you are still asymptomatic you are probably OK if your friend had common cold and you can safely see him after day 7.
