Narrative:

After flight I was informed that I had been exposed to covid-19 the day prior to my 2 day trip. I called the flight operations manager and informed him of my exposure. I made sure that he knew to contact the captain on my trip as I know that he was going to his relative's home after work and that older people are more likely to have complications. Additionally; I knew that he had a trip leaving the next day. I was called by the on call assistant chief pilot; and told that the captain would be contacted. I failed to mention that I had dinner with another airline crew on my layover; as I had been concentrating on getting the captain informed quickly. Had either the flight operations manager or the assistant flight manager on call asked me about other interactions I would have listed the close contact I had with 2 other employees and been able to have them not show up to work for subsequent trips potentially exposing more crew members. Additionally; I found out that the captain was not informed about his exposure until after his return from his next trip. I was surprised that given my reported exposure he was permitted to operate his subsequent trip.
