You should go into quarantine right away.
until you've been without a fever for at least 72 hours, your other symptoms have improved, and it's been at least seven days since you began feeling sick.Should You Begin Contact Tracing, Even If You Haven't Developed Symptoms?
"Once you know you have been exposed, you should make anyone you had contact with after the time of exposure aware," Dr. Kesh said."You don't need to let them know if you saw the person the day after an exposure, but after that point, I think it's safest to let other people you have had contact with know you were exposed." If nothing else, it helps them assess their own risk.
More importantly, if you do develop symptoms — and especially if you test positive for COVID-19 — it's important to take action on contact tracing.
Keep in mind: the 14-day quarantine is in place because"the average time for someone to develop symptoms typically falls within 14 days after exposure," Dr. Richardson explained."If you don't develop symptoms, you are likely in the clear." Just remember to continue taking precautions to reduce your risk of being exposed again.
