    maybe they haven’t contacted you yet because of the holidays but see if they do on Monday. In the meantime if you can stay home I think that would be the best idea. If they don’t contact you in the next few days of next week, I think it would be best to get tested yourself. even if you don’t have symptoms. we can spread it to others 2 to 3 days before symptoms start and we are most contagious 1 to 2 days before we feel sick. if it were me I would not want to take the chance. Take care of yourself!

    Yes isolate yourself. See if you get symptoms after about a week. On average people will start feeling unwell after 5 days. if you wore a mask at that time and didn't touch your mouth and nose, you should be quite safe. I hope you well.
