Test for covid 19

2020-08-11 11:12:20
Hi, my parents tested positive for covid-19 day before yesterday.. and myself tested negative today. We stay separately in the same building. My daughter who is 2 years old came to contact before three days with my mother who has been tested positive today. So do I need to go for a covid test for my daughter and my wife who are very well and don't have any symptoms or other problems.

If your daughter was in contact for more than 15 min and your parents were not wearing masks, its likely that she might be infected. You can get her tested after 5 days of last contact if she remains asymptomatic.
