Rod, did you talk to your doc?

That would be my first port of call. If your son's friend tested positive on Monday, I'm surprised you haven't already heard from a contact tracer.

It takes some time after exposure for someone to become contagious, but that time period is uncertain/variable. If you do get infected, it also takes some time after exposure before you'll have enough virus to register a positive result. And again, that's variable.

If your son was exposed on the 4th or 5th, and if he's been infected, he's just into the window in which symptoms might occur and he'd be contagious. So I expect the doc to say he should get tested ASAP.

But it's probably still too early for you to get tested. I'm guessing the best time for you and your wife might be a week from now, but don't take my word for it, ask the doc.

Needless to say, you guys should all self-quarantine for now.
