Your son should get tested for Covid 19. He should isolate, especially from his pregnant girlfriend, until he knows the result of his test. If his test is negative, his symptoms could be due to a common cold, allergies, etc. If his test is positive, he should continue to isolate and call his doctor. If your son has not had a Covid 19 vaccine, he should get vaccinated ASAP for maximum protection!
