He should get a PCR test which has to be repeated again after 24 hours for confirmation even if first test is positive. Even if both the times the test comes out negative he still needs to be in 14 days of quarantine as he could be a presymptimatic or asymptomatic carrier. Also as serology test can come negative in early stage and is not diagnostic. PCR is diagnostic.
