Yes.: Flight attendant can be asymptomatic and still can give you the virus with in a day. Since Covid-19 symptoms are similar to cold and flu symptoms how are you going to find out ? Get tested if it is available to you. If not available self quarantine yourself for 2 weeks and in the mean time call your doctor from your home.
