Not really. Even if you get tested after being exposed you’re not in the clear with a negative response. You could be positive the very next day. You would have to be tested every single day to really know. And that’s assuming the test was accurate and no human error occurred. Best to just quarantine for 14 days. Even if symptoms develop there is no need for testing unless you need to be hospitalized
