Query on covid 19 - potential closed contact to closed contact to PUI

Hi doctor, my neighbour who previously has closed contact to patient 26 on 27.02. He was initially diagnosed positive, then borderline then now negative. My daughter went to school with his sons in their car on 28.02.

The wife & sons being diagnosed as negative. My daughter has no symptoms. I would like to know whether my daughter should go for testing as well?

If she does, any private hospital that conducted such test since I do not mind paying for the tests.
