RT-PCR test

2022-01-06 04:09:56
Hi, Good morning. I had a dinner with a friend who diagnosed covid positive (Asymptomatic mild) the very next day which means was infected earlier night also. Shall I also go through RT-PCR test even without any symptoms ? If yes, then ideally after how many days ? I am fully vaccinated and had Corona in the first week of May 2021 as well. Regards,
