RT-PCR test
Hi,
Good morning.
I had a dinner with a friend who diagnosed covid positive (Asymptomatic mild) the very next day which means was infected earlier night also.
Shall I also go through RT-PCR test even without any symptoms ? If yes, then ideally after how many days ?
I am fully vaccinated and had Corona in the first week of May 2021 as well.
Regards,
