If he has no symptoms, don't have to get the test done right now. Try to keep him in a seperate room from yours. Keep distance as much as possible, if he develops any symptom at all, get him tested. If the test is positive, we can discuss detailed treatment plan accordingly. In that case you can consult me on practo.
