When is it right to get tested for COVID

2021-04-13 19:13:03
I came into the contact of a person (without mask) on Friday evening who on Saturday was found Covid positive. It's been 4 days for me, I'm not getting any severe symptoms other than morning cold and scrathy throat that I usually get. I had lil headache yesterday which is fine now. Should I get tested? And when(how many days after)? There's no home sample collection at my city and it's risky to go to 3 authorised hospitals at this time. Please help. I'm so confused and worried
