Meeting or exposed to a Covid positive patient doesn’t mean than you will suffer from corona. It all depends how long and how close was the exposure. My suggestion is wait for any of the symptoms. If you develop it then go for the Test otherwise there is no point of exposing yourself

Its best to monitor yourself for any symptoms.
The usual incubation period is 48-72hours. The best time to get tested is after 3 days or on the day of your 1st symptom. Till you get your reports its best to isolate yourself as a precaution.
