If it’s been a few days since the incident, test and then retests 3-5 days later. Wear a mask for 10 d since you performed CPR.
Thank you for being there and risking your health to resuscitate a person in need! It sounds like you have no symptoms of COVID-19 infection and are 12 days after the even of resuscitation and COVID-19 test without symptoms of COVID-19. You most likely have not acquired the infection. If you not have considered by now- please consider now receiving the COVID-19 vaccination.

I would suggest testing at least 5 days after the exposure, then retesting if negative after another week or more.
Thanks for the question!
