Possible Covid exposure at SAT

My D22 took the SAT this morning… and despite clear College Board requirements, several students in her classroom weren’t wearing masks, including one who was frequently coughing. The proctor took his mask off to stand up in front of everyone and loudly read the instructions. My kid freaked out and couldn’t really concentrate on the test-- not a big deal in comparison to the Covid risk. It’s a four hour test in a classroom, in a place where the case load is around twice what the us average is. My D asked to move to a different classroom and the proctor told her no.

Any suggestions about how to deal with this? Most of all we’d like the coughing kid to get a Covid test. Our family has been so careful and locked down, and now we have this. We don’t know whether we should make her quarantine or what.
