RT PCR test

2021-04-22 12:41:31
I met my aunty on last Saturday (with masks on) and she is tested positive on Monday. I am in self isolation since Monday. It's been 5 days since I met her and I have no symptoms. Should I go for RT PCR test? Or Should I continue to do self isolation for another couple of days? Please advise me.

No need right now. Continue self isolation for 10 more days. If any symptoms develop, go for a test. But if you have unavoidable work in the next 10 days then I suggest you should go for a RAT or RT PCR.

It would be better to go for home isolation for 7 more days by that tym if u r Covid affected then u will start developing symptoms And one more advantage will be, there will be no exposure to other suspected cases
