Do I apply for exemption if I was uninsured the last 2 months and I was non-resident the 10 months before that?

I arrived to the US on November 5th 2018. Yet, I'm receiving a penalty as if I had been uninsured the whole 12 months of the year.
Also, I received my first salary until December 2018, and my health insurance started on February 2019.
