On 10 March, 2022, the Health Authority has updated the recommendations for who should be tested for covid-19.

You are no longer recommended to be tested if you live with an infected person, or if you have had contact with an infected person in another context - what was previously called a close or other contact. This applies to both children and adults.

Neither close nor other contacts are recommended for testing, which is why you, as infected with covid-19, do not need to notify your close and other contacts either.
