Very good evening doctors. i took a rapid antigen and a pcr covid test because a close contact tested positive. i tested negative for both tests. if i don't have symptoms, when in the future should i take a covid test again, either rapid or pcr test?

The typical incubation period is 3 to 5 days. If you are fully vaccinated and boosted, continue to monitor for symptoms. If any symptoms occur, then retest. A test on day 5 is otherwise recommended.
