She says it does not guarantee you getting the coronavirus.

Barnes recommends people come get tested once they start showing symptoms. "we see people almost every day that tested negative and come back and now they are positive."

She says there are no clear guidelines for when someone test negative, if they need to get retested, or if they should quarantine if they have just been exposed.

If you test positive though you need to quarantine.

If symptoms are more severe, the cdc recommends to quarantine for 14 days.
