Ok so my niece works in care in the community and one of her patients has tested positive earlier this week, on Wednesday she developed a sore throat and mild temp herself, no cough, no loss of taste/smell, of course she has informed work and is booked for a test later today. She should get the results tomorrow. IF she's positive do I need to take a test if I was with her 8 days ago?
I know the incubation period can be up to 14 days but according to the internet infected people are not contagious until 3 days prior to their first symptoms which would mean she was contagious from Sunday and I saw her the Thursday before that. I need to know for work purposes and self isolation purposes for my son as he was also there when we met up. I have no symptoms (other than anxiety related ones 🙄)
