A member asked:

My friend tested positive today for corona and i was with her 4 days ago should i get tested for corona now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you are vaccinated, you may wait to see if you develop symptoms. An infected person is contagious 2-3 days before symptoms. If your friend had symptoms within 2 days of your meeting her, you could get tested, in 3-4 days.
