Normal incubation period( period in which initial symptoms appear) for corona virus is approx 14 days. As per in your case you are in self isolation from 8 days, better to be in self isolation for more 6 days, then you should go to check yourself for covid test. Most of the time postive cases remail asymtomatic and people spread infection to others because they themself dont knw they r being infected.
Next Steps
stay in self isolation
Health Tips
normally symptoms appear in 6 7 days after exposure, be relax and stress free, in your case there is less chance to get positive.
