If you KNOW you have been exposed, you should self-quarantine. You may be asymptomatic, but you can’t spread the virus if you quarantine.
Could it be that the negative results in asymptomatic persons are nurturing a false sense of safety? With results, most likely both positive and negative, taking so long someone could be asymptomatic and positive by the time the results are received. Seems to me that there is no easy answer.
