If I am following the dates you provided, you were exposed to a pt who tested pos for COVID 11 days AFTER your exposure in December 2021. No, you do NOT need to be tested.
I agree if it’s been two weeks and no symptoms you do not have to go and get tested. But you should continue social distancing , wearing a mask and good hand sanitation. Also Take the vaccine as soon as eligible.
