Covid 19 testing enquiry
Salam Dr, I just found out that one of the passengers in my flight home from Dubai-KL on the 19th March tested positive for Covid-19. I’m not sure if I should get myself/family members tested as well, as it has been more than 14 days since last potential exposure. I have been self-isolating to the best of my ability at home in a separate room and have no symptoms so far. May i know your opinion on what is best to do in this situation? Thank you
