RT PCR test
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.

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

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.
