If you have symptoms, test immediately, and then test again per the instructions if your first result is negative. If you were exposed to someone who has COVID-19 and you do not have symptoms, wait at least 5 full days after your exposure before testing. If you test too early, you may have an inaccurate result.
If possible, get tested five days after exposure. If you are not boosted or are unvaccinated, stay home for five days. Then, wear a mask around others for five more days. If staying home isn't possible, wear a mask for 10 days.
How To Tell You Might Have COVID Without a Test? Symptoms lingered. A cold lasts a few days, but this virus can plague you for two weeks or more. Severe symptoms. Colds don't typically bring a fever and breathing trouble. Eye trouble. Heart flutters. Exhaustion. Sensory disruption. Stomach issues.
That's why it makes sense to wait to take a test either until you have symptoms or until about five days after you've been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Taking a test immediately after exposure doesn't do much good.
